About our extract fan cleaning in Tinsley Green
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers centrifugal fans, fan housings and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that no longer moves enough air and rough running from the extract fan.
For a kitchen in or near Tinsley Green, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Tinsley Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in and around Tinsley Green, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Tinsley Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Crawley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Tinsley Green falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
School kitchens, at schools like Forge Wood Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Michael and All Angels Church or elsewhere in Tinsley Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common questions in Tinsley Green
Is Tinsley Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Tinsley Green is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Tinsley Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Tinsley Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
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.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Make sure the fan is included each time
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
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 we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Tinsley Green?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Burning smells from the fan area
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Langley Green Hospital about 1.8 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A fan that will not start
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
How the visit works
Your staff do not 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. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Tinsley Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Why act early in Tinsley Green
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. A fault that closes a site in a village like Tinsley Green affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
