Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Kiddington
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kiddington?
In Kiddington, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover smaller places like Kiddington?
Yes, Kiddington is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
What accreditations do you have?
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 carry full insurance.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, it should be. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
What affects the quote in Kiddington
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Kiddington
Kiddington sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Kiddington are the job of West Oxfordshire 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Kiddington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Other services in Kiddington
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Kiddington
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Kiddington, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Related advice
Why act early in Kiddington
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. It’s simpler to plan the work at Kiddington now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

When to call us in Kiddington
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Blenheim Palace, about 4.6 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Kiddington; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
