How we handle extract fan cleaning in South Bersted
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers axial fans, in-line fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like South Bersted gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Questions from South Bersted
Can you get to a site in South Bersted?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and South Bersted is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire service covers South Bersted?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.

Kitchen extracts in South Bersted
At about 1 mile from the coast, South Bersted is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 93 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 41 takeaways in and around South Bersted, up to about a mile and a half out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. South Bersted sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in South Bersted
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
Where a hall near Church of St Mary Magdalene, or anywhere in South Bersted, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When the next visit should be, and why
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
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 we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near South Bersted when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
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.
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.
