How we handle extract fan cleaning in Cowesfield Gate
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. If you are dealing with hot, greasy smells near the fan and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right, from in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Cowesfield Gate, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
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 carry full insurance.

What we are called out for in Cowesfield Gate
A greasy fan in Cowesfield Gate is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Rough running from the extract fan
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Landford Manor is about 2.3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

What affects the quote in Cowesfield Gate
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Cowesfield Gate.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Related advice
Cowesfield Gate: your questions answered
Can the work in Cowesfield Gate be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Cowesfield Gate?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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 look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Make sure the fan is included each time
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
