- Burning smells from the fan area
What affects the quote in Frensham
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Frensham
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Common call-outs are for grease around the motor and its mounts and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, on fan housings, in-line fans and discharge points.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why act early in Frensham
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Why us?
- Photo reports with every job
- A fixed price before any work starts
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Kitchen extracts in Frensham
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Frensham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Frensham. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Frensham. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 5.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Frensham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Frensham is about 3 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey.

Near you in Frensham
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Flashes and Edgeborough School. For rail, the closest station is Farnham station, roughly 3.2 miles north of the centre.

What we are called out for in Frensham
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Historic houses near Frensham, such as Farnham Castle about 3.6 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like Frensham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
When it’s something else
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Damaged fan blades
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work

Frensham questions
Can you work in Frensham outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Frensham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Frensham during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Frensham. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
