Extract fan cleaning in Bisham, done properly
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan that has never been cleaned, across centrifugal fans, axial fans and in-line fans.
In a village or hamlet like Bisham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

- A motor that has burnt out

What we’re called out for in Bisham
How fast a fan gets greasy in Bisham depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Bisham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Kitchen extracts in Bisham
Food Standards Agency records include about 19 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Bisham, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Bisham sits within the area of Buckinghamshire 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. Kitchens in Bisham get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Marlow Community Hospital about 1.1 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bisham (Harleyford Manor is about 1.5 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

Common questions in Bisham
Is Bisham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bisham?
Fire safety enforcement in Bisham is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Evenings, nights and weekends are normal working hours for us, so the site doesn’t lose a service.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Why act early in Bisham
For a kitchen in Bisham, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Somewhere as small as Bisham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Photo reports with every job
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bisham.
- 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.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
