What extract fan cleaning looks like in Snow Hill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways across Snow Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Snow Hill is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Snow Hill are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Saint Hill Manor is about 3.4 miles south-east), access may need planning.

Extract fan cleaning in Snow Hill
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you have a noisy fan that has got louder over time and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

What affects the quote in Snow Hill
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Snow Hill
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Victoria Hospital about 3.7 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Snow Hill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Questions from Snow Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Snow Hill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Snow Hill included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Snow Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Snow Hill is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Snow Hill
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
