About our extract fan cleaning in Lucas Green
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that is what we clean. The work covers axial fans, roof-mounted fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are less air being pulled from the kitchen and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
For a kitchen in or near Lucas Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Lucas Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Lucas Green depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan left out of previous cleans
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Lucas Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:

- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A fan that will not start
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Part by part
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a small place like Lucas Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Lucas Green questions
Can you come to Lucas Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Lucas Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can school kitchens in Lucas Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lucas Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Extract fan cleaning around Lucas Green
Look up Lucas Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways across Lucas Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Lucas Green get their food hygiene inspections from Surrey Heath council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Lucas Green falls to Surrey 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bisley CofE Primary School or anywhere near Lucas Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Brookwood Hospital about 1.8 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Lucas Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
