About our extract fan cleaning in Little London
In Little London, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan shaking on its mounts.
For a kitchen in or near Little London, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why it’s worth doing now in Little London
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a place like Little London, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How the visit works
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 it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Little London.

Advice
FAQs for Little London
Can the work in Little London be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Little London does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Little London?
Food hygiene inspections in Little London are carried out by Test Valley council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Is Little London in your area?
Yes. We cover Little London and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Little London
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
If you need extract fan cleaning in Little London, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Little London
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2.7 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of insurance
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Little London
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Little London. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Little London falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
School kitchens, at schools like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Little London, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
