About our extract fan cleaning in Woolbeding
Any fan serving a kitchen in Woolbeding is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Woolbeding, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Woolbeding?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
A hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital, about 1 mile east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What hours they’ll be on site
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Kitchen extracts in Woolbeding
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Woolbeding. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Woolbeding. 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. Fire safety in Woolbeding falls to 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of All Hollows or elsewhere in Woolbeding, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cowdray House is about 1.3 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off.

- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
Common questions in Woolbeding
Do you work at weekends in Woolbeding?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Woolbeding out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Woolbeding, the Food Standards Agency lists about 9 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, where it makes sense. We’ll often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
