Extract fan cleaning in Binscombe
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you’re dealing with a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Binscombe kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 31 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Binscombe. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. The fire and rescue service for Binscombe is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Binscombe are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Loseley Fields Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to Farncombe station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Binscombe
A greasy fan in Binscombe is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Farnham Road Hospital is the nearest hospital to Binscombe, about 2.4 miles north-east.

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan that will not start
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit 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 Binscombe, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing after isolating them.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
