How we handle extract fan cleaning in Holybourne
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include grease around the motor and its mounts and burning smells from the fan area, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
For a kitchen in or near Holybourne, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Holybourne questions
Do you work in villages like Holybourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Holybourne?
Food hygiene inspections in Holybourne are carried out by East Hampshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Holybourne
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Holybourne
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A fan that won’t start
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

Why act early in Holybourne
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Planning a trip to Holybourne ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Holybourne
Food Standards Agency data counts about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 15 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Holybourne, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kitchens in Holybourne get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Holybourne is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Holybourne (Bentworth Hall is about 4.6 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Never cook with a filter missing
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Holybourne, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system

Related advice
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Holybourne?
How fast a fan gets greasy in Holybourne depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Alton Community Hospital about 2.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
