Green Cross extract fan cleaning
Our technicians work in Green Cross on extract fan cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
About our extract fan cleaning in Green Cross
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers axial fans, fan housings and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a heavily greased fan housing.
In a village or hamlet like Green Cross, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Green Cross
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Green Cross questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Green Cross?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Green Cross. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Green Cross?
Food hygiene inspections in Green Cross are carried out by Waverley council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Green Cross knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Green Cross kitchens: local notes
Look up Green Cross on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Green Cross and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Green Cross. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Green Cross sits within the area of Surrey 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.
For schools such as St John's CofE Aided Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Haslemere and District Hospital about 3.8 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

When to call us in Green Cross
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Green Cross as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan shaking on its mounts
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Green Cross, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
What happens if it’s left?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem 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.
