Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Turners Hill
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include a heavily greased fan housing and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, across discharge points, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
In a small place like Turners Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Leave a clear route to the fan
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What we are called out for in Turners Hill
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
A hospital like Queen Victoria Hospital, about 4.3 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Turners Hill
Who is the fire and rescue service for Turners Hill?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Turners Hill. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which council inspects kitchens in Turners Hill?
Kitchens in Turners Hill are inspected by Mid Sussex council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Turners Hill
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- 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
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Why act early in Turners Hill
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Turners Hill.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
