Extract fan cleaning in Fulbrook
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’s what we clean. The work covers roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.
In a village or hamlet like Fulbrook, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the quote in Fulbrook
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
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 use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need extract fan cleaning in Fulbrook, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- In-line fans

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Fulbrook can be planned properly.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
What else we do in Fulbrook
Fulbrook: your questions answered
Is Fulbrook within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Fulbrook is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Fulbrook?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Extract fan cleaning in Fulbrook: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fulbrook. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fulbrook sits within the area of 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. In Fulbrook, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Minster Lovell Hall, about 4.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Fulbrook; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Where a hall near Church of Saint James the Great, or anywhere in Fulbrook, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Burford Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
