Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Axmansford
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Axmansford
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. Typical jobs include hot, greasy smells near the fan and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, on axial fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Axmansford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Why act early in Axmansford

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
Kitchen extracts in Axmansford
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Axmansford, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Axmansford. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Axmansford. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital about 5.3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Hurst School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Stephen or elsewhere in Axmansford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Axmansford, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.

Advice
Questions from Axmansford
Will you come out to Axmansford?
Yes. Axmansford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Axmansford?
The local authority for Axmansford is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
