Extract fan cleaning in Barton on Sea, Hampshire
Extract fan cleaning for Barton on Sea, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
About our extract fan cleaning in Barton on Sea
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you have a fan that has never been cleaned and grease stains around the discharge, we can put it right, from axial fans, in-line fans and fan housings onwards.
In a smaller place like Barton on Sea, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Report rattles or humming early
- File the fan’s report with your other records
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and we clear up before we go. Tell us when your site near Barton on Sea is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- 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 when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Barton on Sea
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Where a hall near Parish Church of St Magdalene, or anywhere in Barton on Sea, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before you book anyone

- Whether a written report and photos are included

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Barton on Sea
Is Barton on Sea within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Barton on Sea?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Barton on Sea. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Kitchen extracts in Barton on Sea
Barton on Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 24 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 18 sandwich bars and takeaways across Barton on Sea and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in Barton on Sea falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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 your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Barton on Sea (Highcliffe Castle is about 2.2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Bursars and site managers at schools such as New Milton Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
