Extract Fan Cleaning in Littlewick Green
Extract fan cleaning for Littlewick Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Extract fan cleaning in Littlewick Green, done properly
In Littlewick Green, 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 centrifugal fans, axial fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan shaking on its mounts.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
When to call us in Littlewick Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Littlewick Green depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Harleyford Manor is about 2.8 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Littlewick Green
Can the work in Littlewick Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Littlewick Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Littlewick Green during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Littlewick Green. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Kitchen extracts in Littlewick Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Littlewick Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Littlewick Green sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Littlewick Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Littlewick Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 2.2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The timing of a visit to Littlewick Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Never cook with a filter missing
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
