What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Bromley Green
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 are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have a heavily greased fan housing and rough running from the extract fan, we can help, from discharge points, fan housings and in-line fans onwards.
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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. In a place like Bromley Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What happens on the day
We turn up 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 an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bromley Green.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Bromley Green
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
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.
Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
FAQs for Bromley Green
Do you work in villages like Bromley Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bromley Green included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bromley Green?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bromley Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What’s 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.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
When to call us in Bromley Green
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
A hospital like William Harvey Hospital, about 4.1 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Bromley Green, about 50 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
