Common questions in East End
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for East End?
East End is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East End?
In East End, it’s West Oxfordshire 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.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan normally means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in East End?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Extract fan cleaning in East End
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. Common call-outs are for grease stains around the discharge and grease around the motor and its mounts, across roof-mounted fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Why act early in East End
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a small place like East End, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Grease, kitchens and East End

In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in East End get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Blenheim Palace, about 2.7 miles east, is one of the historic houses near East End; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Combe CofE Primary School or anywhere near East End, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
