About our extract fan cleaning in Westerton
If the extract fan in Westerton has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, across fan housings, discharge points and roof-mounted fans.
Somewhere as small as Westerton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Westerton
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.

An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Westerton: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Westerton?
In Westerton, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Westerton out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Westerton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Westerton?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
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. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
How it works
Your staff don’t 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. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Westerton.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Why act early in Westerton

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
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.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
