Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Extract fan cleaning in West Marden
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a smell of hot grease from the extract and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
In a village or hamlet like West Marden, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in West Marden
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in West Marden, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in West Marden
Do you work in villages like West Marden?
Yes. West Marden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers West Marden?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in West Marden. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What if parts of the system cannot 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 accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
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.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
