Extract fan cleaning in Eridge Green
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. If you are dealing with an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and discharge points onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Eridge Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
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.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Eridge Green
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Eridge Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
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 give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Eridge Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.

Questions from Eridge Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Eridge Green?
That’s Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Eridge Green. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can the work in Eridge Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Eridge Green keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
