About our extract fan cleaning in Hampton Hill
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. Typical jobs include a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a fan that has never been cleaned, across in-line fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Hampton Hill is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
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.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
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.
Questions from Hampton Hill
Can you come to Hampton Hill after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Hampton Hill keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hampton Hill during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hampton Hill. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Grease, kitchens and Hampton Hill
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 32 pubs, bars and clubs in Hampton Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Richmond-Upon-Thames council inspect food businesses in Hampton Hill. 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. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
A kitchen near Fulwell station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Hampton Hill United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Hampton Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hampton Hill Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Want a quote for extract fan cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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’s our job.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
