How we handle extract fan cleaning in Little Frieth
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. If you have rough running from the extract fan and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, axial fans and fan housings onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Little Frieth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Little Frieth
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Little Frieth and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

When to call us in Little Frieth
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Burning smells from the fan area
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Little Frieth (Stonor Park is about 3.1 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
