Extract fan cleaning in Cockpole Green, done properly
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are grease escaping from the fan outlet and thick grease on the impeller and casing.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How the visit works
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 we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Cockpole Green run smoothly.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. If the system at a site near Cockpole Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Cockpole Green
In Cockpole Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. About 33 miles out from central London, Cockpole Green is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Harleyford Manor is about 2.7 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul's Mission Church or elsewhere in Cockpole Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 4.5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Questions from Cockpole Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Cockpole Green?
In Cockpole Green, it’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cockpole Green?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Cockpole Green?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A fan that will not start
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Axial fans
- Fan housings

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
