Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bridgemary
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about weak extraction at the canopy and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Bridgemary gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a site near Bridgemary, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
FAQs for Bridgemary
Which council inspects kitchens in Bridgemary?
That is Gosport council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bridgemary. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Bridgemary?
It can. Salt air reaches Bridgemary, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not 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.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bridgemary
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bridgemary
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.

Kitchen extracts in Bridgemary
Bridgemary lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 34 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 26 sandwich bars and takeaways across Bridgemary and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. In Bridgemary, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Gosport council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rowner Junior tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital (about 2.1 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

When to call us in Bridgemary
A fan in Bridgemary builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Where a hall near St Matthew's, or anywhere in Bridgemary, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
