Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Hundred Acres
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers discharge points, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about a fan that no longer moves enough air and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
In a village or hamlet like Hundred Acres, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like Hundred Acres are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Hundred Acres
Which fire service covers Hundred Acres?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hundred Acres. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is Hundred Acres within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
When something else is needed
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
