Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
About our extract fan cleaning in Shopwyke
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. We are often asked to deal with weak extraction at the canopy and burning smells from the fan area, across axial fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
For a kitchen in or near Shopwyke, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why act early in Shopwyke
A fan that sounds rough in Shopwyke is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Shopwyke kitchens: local notes

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Shopwyke sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shopwyke. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Westbourne House School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Shopwyke, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Shopwyke.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Common questions in Shopwyke
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Shopwyke out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Shopwyke. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Will you come out to Shopwyke?
Yes, Shopwyke is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Shopwyke?
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Historic houses near Shopwyke, such as Goodwood House about 2.1 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
