Extract fan cleaning in Yapton, done properly
If the extract fan in Yapton has become noisy, weak or greasy? A few details or a photo help when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. We are often asked to deal with grease escaping from the fan outlet and less air being pulled from the kitchen, on discharge points, in-line fans and axial fans.
Around a smaller place like Yapton, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Yapton
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Common questions in Yapton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Yapton?
That’s Arun council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Yapton. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire authority looks after Yapton?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you do not have to close during trading.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a place like Yapton, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
Grease, kitchens and Yapton
Yapton lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Look up Yapton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Yapton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Kitchens in Yapton get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. 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.
A hospital like Arundel and District Hospital, about 3.2 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Yapton CE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Yapton is about 4 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
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.
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.
Part by part
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
