Extract fan cleaning in Coley Park, done properly
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with vibration from an unbalanced impeller and hot, greasy smells near the fan, we can put it right.
For a smaller kitchen near Coley Park, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

What else we do in Coley Park
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing after isolating them.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
Questions from Coley Park
Which fire authority looks after Coley Park?
Coley Park is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Coley Park out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Coley Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 25 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t start while we work. With the extract off, the kitchen can’t cook, so we work out of hours.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- Damaged fan blades
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Kitchen extracts in Coley Park

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Reading council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Coley Park. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

A hospital like Battle Hospital, about 1 mile north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Reading West station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Church and community hall kitchens, near All Nations Christian Centre or anywhere around Coley Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- 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 email photos, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Why it’s worth doing now in Coley Park
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. When a site near Coley Park shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Around Coley Park, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
