How we handle extract fan cleaning in Selsey
Any fan serving a kitchen in Selsey is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about a fan shaking on its mounts and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
In a town like Selsey, most of the kitchen extracts we are asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Selsey kitchens: local notes
Selsey is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 11 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Selsey, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Selsey is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Peter's Church or anywhere around Selsey, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Seal Primary Academy or anywhere near Selsey, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Selsey is about 6 miles south-west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Sites in a town like Selsey rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. A small fault found now is a quick job; the same fault found later can close the site.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

Questions from Selsey
Which fire service covers Selsey?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Selsey. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work at weekends in Selsey?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Selsey can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
