Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brick Hill
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are a motor area thick with grease and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Brick Hill can be planned properly.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Brick Hill kitchens: local notes
Look up Brick Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Brick Hill. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. In Brick Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. 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. Fire safety in Brick Hill falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Saviour or elsewhere in Brick Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Heatherwood Hospital about 3.6 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Brick Hill is about 5 miles north-west of Woking, in Surrey. Brick Hill gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, and Brick Hill is one of them. We also work in Guildford, around 9 miles away.

When to call us in Brick Hill
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Brick Hill as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
Botleys Mansion, about 4 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Brick Hill; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted

Why it’s worth doing now in Brick Hill
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. It’s simpler to plan the work at Brick Hill now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Brick Hill
Do you work in villages like Brick Hill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Brick Hill included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Brick Hill?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Brick Hill. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
