Buckinghamshire · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Broughton, Buckinghamshire
Extract fan cleaning across Broughton and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- A fan that won’t start
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)

Extract fan cleaning in Broughton, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about a noisy fan that has got louder over time and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Broughton gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Tell us when your site near Broughton is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
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, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Questions from Broughton
Do you work overnight in Broughton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Broughton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Broughton?
Fire safety enforcement in Broughton is handled by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What we’re called out for in Broughton
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Broughton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Kitchen extracts in Broughton
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broughton. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Broughton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Broughton falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bierton Church of England Combined School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tindal Centre (about 1.4 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
