Extract fan cleaning in Brookhampton
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
Somewhere as small as Brookhampton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A fan that will not start
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
What affects the quote in Brookhampton
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Other services in Brookhampton
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why Brookhampton businesses choose us
- Photo reports with every job
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Every job surveyed first
- One number for every site across the South East and London
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Brookhampton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

FAQs for Brookhampton
Which council inspects kitchens in Brookhampton?
The local authority for Brookhampton is South Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Brookhampton?
Fire safety enforcement in Brookhampton is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Brookhampton
At about 46 miles from central London, Brookhampton sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. The fire and rescue service for Brookhampton is Oxfordshire 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Garsington Manor is about 2.7 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Brookhampton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Littlemore Hospital about 4.9 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep access to the fan clear
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
