Martyr Worthy extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Martyr Worthy, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

- A heavily greased fan housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Extract fan cleaning in Martyr Worthy
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a heavily greased fan housing, across roof-mounted fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common questions in Martyr Worthy
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Martyr Worthy?
In Martyr Worthy, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Martyr Worthy?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Martyr Worthy keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Extract fan cleaning around Martyr Worthy
We cover Martyr Worthy, about 57 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Martyr Worthy. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Itchen Abbas Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Swithin or elsewhere in Martyr Worthy, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we’re called out for in Martyr Worthy
How fast a fan gets greasy in Martyr Worthy depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel about 3.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A motor that has burnt out
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Martyr Worthy
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like Martyr Worthy, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
