Extract Fan Cleaning in Feering
Extract fan cleaning in Feering from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Feering
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mounts and thick grease on the impeller and casing, across fan housings, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans.
Work in a small place like Feering starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Honest limits
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A fan that won’t start
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings

Feering kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways across Feering and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. The fire and rescue service for Feering is Essex County 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. In Feering, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Braintree council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Commuter trade near Kelvedon station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Layer Marney Tower, about 3.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Feering; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Questions from Feering
Do you work in villages like Feering?
Yes. Feering 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.
Do you work overnight in Feering?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Feering needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, 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. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Feering before we set off.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. 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 we start, so there are no surprises.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Common problems we fix in Feering
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Rough running from the extract fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Feering Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
