Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Baker's Wood
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. The work covers centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a smell of hot grease from the extract and a noisy fan that has got louder over time.
In a small place like Baker's Wood, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Common questions in Baker's Wood
Do you work at weekends in Baker's Wood?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Baker's Wood?
Kitchens in Baker's Wood are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How long is a fan clean?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Baker's Wood, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report rattles or humming early
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
