Extract Fan Cleaning in Nyton
Extract fan cleaning in Nyton, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.

Extract fan cleaning in Nyton, done properly
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you are dealing with a smell of hot grease from the extract and rough running from the extract fan, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Nyton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Nyton
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease stains around the discharge
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Nyton, about 3.4 miles south.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Nyton run smoothly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Questions from Nyton
Who inspects food businesses in Nyton?
The local authority for Nyton is Arun council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you get to a site in Nyton?
Yes. Nyton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nyton. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nyton
A fan that sounds rough in Nyton is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
