The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a place like Bursledon, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bursledon
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. Common call-outs are for weak extraction at the canopy and burning smells from the fan area, across centrifugal fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans.
Kitchens around a place like Bursledon are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we are called out for in Bursledon
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Look out for any of the following:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A heavily greased fan housing
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bursledon is Coldeast, about 1.8 miles south-east.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Bursledon kitchens: local notes
Bursledon is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s data shows about 9 pubs and bars registered in Bursledon and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Bursledon is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Commuter trade near Bursledon station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. A planned visit to Bursledon fits your hours; an emergency does not.
You won’t 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.

Common questions in Bursledon
Which environmental health team covers Bursledon?
Kitchens in Bursledon are inspected by Eastleigh council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Bursledon during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 8 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bursledon. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
