Extract fan cleaning in Ledborough, done properly
In Ledborough, 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 discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
Somewhere as small as Ledborough, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens if it’s left?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Somewhere as small as Ledborough, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Grease, kitchens and Ledborough
Look up Ledborough on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 37 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ledborough. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. The fire and rescue service for Ledborough is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Ledborough. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a café or takeaway near Beaconsfield station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Mary and All Saints CofE Primary School or anywhere near Ledborough, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Ledborough, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Ledborough is about 1 mile north-east of Beaconsfield, in Buckinghamshire.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Ledborough
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Ledborough during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Ledborough, the Food Standards Agency lists about 14 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Ledborough?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Ledborough needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
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, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
Do you cover Ledborough?
Yes. Ledborough is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, with anything we noticed. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ledborough
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What affects the quote in Ledborough
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- File the fan’s report with your other records
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Ledborough.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Ledborough
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
