Extract fan cleaning in Adgestone
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you’re dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Adgestone kitchens: local notes
Adgestone is within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 11 pubs and bars and about 16 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Adgestone. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Adgestone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Adgestone, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Adgestone is Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 2.7 miles south.
Adgestone is about 4 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Adgestone, we can take on extract fan cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Portsmouth, about 10 miles from Adgestone.
Work in PO36 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on Upper Road, Lower Road and Lower Adgestone Road or anywhere close by, we can help. We also cover Morton (1 mile east), Yarbridge (1 mile east), Brading (1 mile north-east), Alverstone (1 mile south-west) and Sandown (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (6 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south), Ventnor (6 miles south) and East Cowes (8 miles north-west). If your site is somewhere remote, the visit takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Adgestone
Can the work in Adgestone be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan cleaning in Adgestone?
It can. Salt air reaches Adgestone, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Report rattles or humming early
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report grease escaping from the fan
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Planning a trip to Adgestone ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
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 send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

When to call us in Adgestone
A greasy fan in Adgestone is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Adgestone.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Adgestone
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
