Farleigh Wallop extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Farleigh Wallop from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A motor area thick with grease
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Farleigh Wallop
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan, and that is what we clean. If you’re dealing with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Farleigh Wallop, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Farleigh Wallop
Which fire service covers Farleigh Wallop?
Farleigh Wallop is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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.
Do you work in villages like Farleigh Wallop?
Yes. Farleigh Wallop is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
When to call us in Farleigh Wallop
A greasy fan in Farleigh Wallop is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease around the motor and its mounts

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Extract fan cleaning in Farleigh Wallop: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Farleigh Wallop, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Farleigh Wallop sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Farleigh Wallop. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 4.4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brighton Hill Community School or anywhere near Farleigh Wallop, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Farleigh Wallop
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

The process
There are three stages on the day: 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 pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Farleigh Wallop and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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 any work starts.
