Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bar End
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. A thorough clean removes the cause. Typical jobs include burning smells from the fan area and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
In a village or hamlet like Bar End, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has 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.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Bar End
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 31 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels and guest houses across Bar End and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Bar End are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Bar End falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints or elsewhere in Bar End, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as All Saints Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Bar End, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel, about 0.6 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How it works

Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bar End.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Make sure the fan is included each time
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
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.
Questions from Bar End
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bar End?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bar End. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can a school canteen extract in Bar End be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 12 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bar End. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
