- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A heavily greased fan housing
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Froyle run smoothly.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Extract fan cleaning in Froyle
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for an extract fan with no cleaning record and a smell of hot grease from the extract, on centrifugal fans, discharge points and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Froyle, 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, 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.

When to call us in Froyle
How fast a fan gets greasy in Froyle depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A heavily greased fan housing
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Alton Community Hospital (about 4.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
Common questions in Froyle
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Froyle?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who inspects food businesses in Froyle?
In Froyle, it’s East Hampshire 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.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning the fan in Froyle now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Froyle is calmer for everyone.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why Froyle businesses choose us
- We’re fully insured
- Every visit written up, with photos
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Grease, kitchens and Froyle
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Froyle. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Froyle. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary of the Assumption or anywhere around Froyle, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
