About our extract fan cleaning in Bramley
In Bramley, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. If you’re dealing with a fan coated in grease inside its housing and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Bramley, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the quote in Bramley
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Around Bramley, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Bramley
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Bramley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Common questions in Bramley
Which fire authority looks after Bramley?
Fire safety enforcement in Bramley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Bramley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Bramley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is 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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Bramley is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Booking now means the visit to Bramley is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Extract fan cleaning in Bramley: the local picture
In Bramley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Bramley is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A kitchen near Bramley (Hants) station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
