Common questions in The Haven
Do you work in villages like The Haven?
Yes. The Haven is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in The Haven?
Food hygiene inspections in The Haven are carried out by Horsham council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
About our extract fan cleaning in The Haven
Any fan serving a kitchen in The Haven is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are thick grease on the impeller and casing and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
Somewhere as small as The Haven, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to The Haven and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What affects the quote in The Haven
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in The Haven
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Common problems we fix in The Haven
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
For kitchens in and around The Haven, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What records you will receive afterwards
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
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.
