Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Plummers Plain
Any fan serving a kitchen in Plummers Plain is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. Common call-outs are for hot, greasy smells near the fan and grease stains around the discharge, on axial fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Plummers Plain, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Plummers Plain questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Plummers Plain?
In Plummers Plain, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come to Plummers Plain after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Plummers Plain keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is Plummers Plain in your area?
Yes. We work in Plummers Plain and the rest of West Sussex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The timing of a visit to Plummers Plain is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Related advice
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Plummers Plain?
How fast a fan gets greasy in Plummers Plain depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Burning smells from the fan area
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Tyes Place is about 2.9 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Plummers Plain
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
