How we handle extract fan cleaning in Wineham
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. Common call-outs are for a motor area thick with grease and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across in-line fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
In a small place like Wineham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

FAQs for Wineham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wineham?
In Wineham, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wineham?
Wineham is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Extract fan cleaning around Wineham
Wineham 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. We cover Wineham, about 37 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Wineham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ockenden Manor is about 4.9 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. A fault that closes a site in a village like Wineham affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Report rattles or humming early
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Wineham
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Rough running from the extract fan
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Wineham is The Dene Hospital, about 3.3 miles east.
