West Sussex · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Stedham, West Sussex
For extract fan cleaning in Stedham, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Why deal with it now?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. With notice, the visit to Stedham can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?

About our extract fan cleaning in Stedham
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. If you have hot, greasy smells near the fan and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Stedham, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Stedham knowing what to expect.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Stedham
Can the work in Stedham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Stedham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Stedham in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Stedham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stedham
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
What affects the quote in Stedham
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
