How we price extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Extract fan cleaning in Haverstock
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you’re dealing with burning smells from the fan area and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can help.
In a London area like Haverstock, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
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.

Kitchen extracts in Haverstock
Food Standards Agency records include about 99 pubs and bars and about 30 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Haverstock and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Environmental health officers from Camden council inspect food businesses in Haverstock. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Haverstock, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you cook for passing trade around South Hampstead station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Haverstock is about 1 mile south-east of Hampstead, in Greater London. Every kind of commercial site in Haverstock, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, and Haverstock is one of them.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Haverstock
Which council inspects kitchens in Haverstock?
The local authority for Haverstock is Camden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is parking a problem for work in Haverstock?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What we are called out for in Haverstock
How fast a fan gets greasy in Haverstock depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Wellington Hospital (about 0.9 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A motor that has burnt out
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
Why deal with it now?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two for most single fans. Before any visit in Haverstock, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
