How we handle extract fan cleaning in Longparish
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Common call-outs are for fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, on discharge points, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans.
Somewhere as small as Longparish, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the quote in Longparish
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we’re called out for in Longparish
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A motor area thick with grease
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 5.1 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Longparish and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning the fan in Longparish now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Longparish questions
Do you work at weekends in Longparish?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Longparish doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Longparish within the area you cover?
Yes. Longparish is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Longparish?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Extract fan cleaning around Longparish
Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Longparish. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. At about 59 miles from central London, Longparish sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Longparish Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Longparish, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
