Extract Fan Cleaning in Hound
Extract fan cleaning for Hound, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. In a small place like Hound, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hound
In Hound, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan with no cleaning record and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
Somewhere as small as Hound, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Hound: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hound?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hound during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hound. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Are you accredited?
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.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger and the motor works harder. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Hound is calmer for everyone.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Hound
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
If you run a café or takeaway near Netley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- An undersized fan that can’t cope

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Hound
Hound is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 19 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Hound. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Hound falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coldeast about 2.4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Hamble School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
