A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
About our extract fan cleaning in Shipton Green
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you have an extract fan with no cleaning record and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can help, from discharge points, fan housings and in-line fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Shipton Green, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What affects the quote in Shipton Green
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Kitchen extracts in Shipton Green
At about 1 mile from the coast, Shipton Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Shipton Green. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Shipton Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Nicholas' Church or elsewhere in Shipton Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Richard's Hospital about 5.2 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like Birdham CE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

What else we do in Shipton Green
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Shipton Green
Which fire authority looks after Shipton Green?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Shipton Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is Shipton Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Shipton Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
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.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Shipton Green run smoothly.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
