How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hound Green
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. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers discharge points, fan housings and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan that has never been cleaned.
Somewhere as small as Hound Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Duct Doctor has 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 are fully insured.

Hound Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Hound Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Hound Green is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Hound Green are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 2.4 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 5.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. 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 Hound Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

How we price extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damaged fan blades
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Hound Green
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Common questions in Hound Green
Is Hound Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Hound Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hound Green?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hound Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Every clean has a photo report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
When to call us in Hound Green
A greasy fan in Hound Green is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A heavily greased fan housing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Mattingley Church or elsewhere in Hound Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
