Extract fan cleaning in Horsemere Green
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. Common call-outs are for an extract fan with no cleaning record and a heavily greased fan housing, across centrifugal fans, discharge points and fan housings.
For a kitchen in or near Horsemere Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are 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.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What affects the quote in Horsemere Green
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
When to call us in Horsemere Green
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Horsemere Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Questions from Horsemere Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Horsemere Green?
That is Arun council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Horsemere Green. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Horsemere Green during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Horsemere Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If we find wear or damage, we’ll explain it and send you a fixed quote.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. A full clean adds a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Horsemere Green.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
