About our extract fan cleaning in West Green
If the extract fan in West Green has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in West Green, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, across centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans.
In a smaller place like West Green, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in West Green
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near West Green when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in West Green
A fan in West Green builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A motor area thick with grease
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A heavily greased fan housing
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God, or anywhere in West Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the price is fixed
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Booking now means the visit to West Green is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Extract fan cleaning around West Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 26 pubs, bars and clubs and about 12 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of West Green. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in West Green are the job of Crawley council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. West Green sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as West Green Primary School or anywhere near West Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Crawley Hospital about 0.5 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

West Green questions
Do you work overnight in West Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in West Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for West Green?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers West Green. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in West Green?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
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.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks in BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. 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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in West Green
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in West Green and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What affects the quote in West Green
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
