About our extract fan cleaning in Broughton
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. We are often asked to deal with a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan left out of previous cleans, on fan housings, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
In a village or hamlet like Broughton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Broughton, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Extract fan cleaning around Broughton
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Broughton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Broughton. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Broughton are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Broughton Castle is about 0.3 miles south-west), access may need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Broughton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Broughton questions
Can you come to Broughton after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Broughton needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Broughton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Broughton is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Your quote will give an idea.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. 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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- Every job surveyed first
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Photo reports with every job
- Trading since 2009
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Broughton?
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan left out of previous cleans
School kitchens, at schools like Bishop Carpenter Church of England Aided Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Damaged fan blades
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
