Extract fan cleaning in Keyhaven
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. Common call-outs are for a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, across discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
Somewhere as small as Keyhaven, 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, whatever the size of the place.
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 carry full insurance.

Why act early in Keyhaven
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A planned visit to Keyhaven is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Keyhaven
Which fire authority looks after Keyhaven?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Keyhaven. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Keyhaven?
It can. Keyhaven is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
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.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What is 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.
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Common problems we fix in Keyhaven
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Keyhaven as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Keyhaven, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
How we price extract fan cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work

- The condition of the system
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system

What else we do in Keyhaven
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. A fan-only clean is recorded in the photo report.
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 staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like Keyhaven are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
