Extract fan cleaning in Scaynes Hill, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that’s what we clean. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that has never been cleaned and weak extraction at the canopy, across discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
For a kitchen in or near Scaynes Hill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Scaynes Hill and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Scaynes Hill.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Scaynes Hill?
A fan in Scaynes Hill builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: 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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Ockenden Manor, about 4.1 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Scaynes Hill; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Scaynes Hill
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Scaynes Hill out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Scaynes Hill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire service covers Scaynes Hill?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Scaynes Hill. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
