Extract fan cleaning in Upperton, West Sussex
Extract fan cleaning for Upperton, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Upperton
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Upperton is Midhurst Community Hospital, about 4.3 miles west.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off.

- 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.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Extract fan cleaning in Upperton: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Upperton, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. In Upperton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Upperton falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of All Hallows, or anywhere in Upperton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Petworth House is about 1.2 miles south-east), access may need planning.

Upperton: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Upperton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Upperton keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is Upperton within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Upperton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan cannot be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, 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
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Never cook with a filter missing
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
