Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hazelwood
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers centrifugal fans, axial fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about a motor area thick with grease and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
In a small place like Hazelwood, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

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.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. We note any grease around the fan.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Hazelwood
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hazelwood. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Hazelwood is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Bromley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hazelwood. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Orpington Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hazelwood, about 2.1 miles north-east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Downe Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Hazelwood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What happens on the day
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. The timing of a visit to Hazelwood is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
How to prepare

What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Planning a trip to Hazelwood ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report rattles or humming early
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
