How we handle extract fan cleaning in Mattingley
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about hot, greasy smells near the fan and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
In a village or hamlet like Mattingley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Impellers and blades
While the impeller is clean, we can see its condition: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Questions from Mattingley
Who inspects food businesses in Mattingley?
Kitchens in Mattingley are inspected by Hart council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Mattingley?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll book around them.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Extract fan cleaning around Mattingley
Food hygiene inspections in Mattingley are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. At about 39 miles from central London, Mattingley sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Mattingley Church or elsewhere in Mattingley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Mattingley (Stratfield Saye House is about 3.1 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Mattingley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system

Common problems we fix in Mattingley
A greasy fan in Mattingley is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Mattingley is Fleet Community Hospital, about 4.7 miles south-east.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
