West Sussex · Extract fan cleaning
Wiggonholt extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Wiggonholt, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Extract fan cleaning in Wiggonholt
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you have a smell of hot grease from the extract and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can put it right, from in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Wiggonholt, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Wiggonholt
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Wiggonholt?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Historic houses near Wiggonholt, such as Parham House about 1.5 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Wiggonholt questions
Do you work at weekends in Wiggonholt?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wiggonholt?
Wiggonholt is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Wiggonholt?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Wiggonholt
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wiggonholt, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Wiggonholt. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Wiggonholt are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Wiggonholt Church, or anywhere in Wiggonholt, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What staff can safely do
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wiggonholt, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What the work involves, part by part
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.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
