Extract fan cleaning in East Molesey
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, before signing it off. Common call-outs are for a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and thick grease on the impeller and casing, across fan housings, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.
For a smaller kitchen near East Molesey, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the quote in East Molesey

Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Around East Molesey, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- 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.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in East Molesey and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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, and that’s where we come in.
East Molesey questions
Do you work overnight in East Molesey?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in East Molesey needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in East Molesey?
Fire safety enforcement in East Molesey is handled by Surrey 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.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in East Molesey
A greasy fan in East Molesey 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.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Burning smells from the fan area
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in East Molesey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in East Molesey
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
