How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bentley
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers axial fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are grease escaping from the fan outlet and thick grease on the impeller and casing.
Work in a small place like Bentley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For extract fan cleaning in Bentley, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Why act early in Bentley
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Somewhere as small as Bentley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

FAQs for Bentley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bentley?
In Bentley, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Bentley after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Bentley needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Your quote will give an idea.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Kitchen extracts in Bentley
Kitchens in Bentley get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. We cover Bentley, about 40 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bentley, about 5.9 miles south. If you cook for passing trade around Bentley (Hampshire) station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Bentley is about 4 miles west of Farnham, in Surrey. We carry out extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Bentley and the rest of Surrey. Bentley is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover for extract fan cleaning. You can also see our page for Guildford, roughly 14 miles from Bentley.
Extract fan cleaning in GU10 and GU34 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Extract fan cleaning is available to premises on Station Road, Broadlands Close and Eggars Field and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Isington (1 mile south-west), Blacknest (1 mile south-east), Bucks Horn Oak (2 miles south-east), Holt Pound (2 miles east) and Binsted (2 miles south).

Local landmarks in Bentley
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Star Inn and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 0.8 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Barley Pound (1.7 miles north-east) and Chase Community Hospital (5.9 miles south). Not far away are Farnham Park and Holybourne Hill.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Bentley
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
For schools such as Bentley Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What insurance they carry
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Bentley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
