How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bramdean
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Bramdean starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Bramdean
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bramdean?
In Bramdean, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Will you come out to Bramdean?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bramdean is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to Bramdean is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
What we are called out for in Bramdean
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A motor area thick with grease
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Simon and St Jude or elsewhere in Bramdean, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Bramdean
Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Bramdean. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. We cover Bramdean, about 54 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bramdean (Hinton Ampner House is about 1.3 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
