Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wisborough Green
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan left out of previous cleans, we can put it right, from discharge points, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Wisborough Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Common questions in Wisborough Green
Which fire authority looks after Wisborough Green?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Wisborough Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you get to a site in Wisborough Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wisborough Green is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- An impeller that’s bent or split
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wisborough Green.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Report rattles or humming early
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
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.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Wisborough Green
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
For schools such as Wisborough Green Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
