What happens if it’s left?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A planned visit to Fifield is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

- Every visit written up, with photos
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- A fixed price before any work starts

About our extract fan cleaning in Fifield
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you are dealing with less air being pulled from the kitchen and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Fifield, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract fan cleaning in Fifield: the local picture
In Fifield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Fifield falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

What affects the quote in Fifield
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We don’t publish a 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 get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Fifield
A greasy fan in Fifield 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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Fifield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Fifield can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
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.
Common questions in Fifield
Which council inspects kitchens in Fifield?
In Fifield, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is Fifield within the area you cover?
Yes. Fifield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
