Monk Sherborne extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning for Monk Sherborne and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A heavily greased fan housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Monk Sherborne rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

About our extract fan cleaning in Monk Sherborne
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. We are often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mounts and burning smells from the fan area, on fan housings, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
In a village or hamlet like Monk Sherborne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the quote in Monk Sherborne
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Monk Sherborne before we set off.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans

Common questions in Monk Sherborne
Do you work in villages like Monk Sherborne?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Monk Sherborne included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Monk Sherborne in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Monk Sherborne. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Report rattles or humming early
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.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Monk Sherborne kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Monk Sherborne, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Monk Sherborne sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Monk Sherborne. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Priory Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Park Prewett Hospital is the nearest hospital to Monk Sherborne, about 1.8 miles south. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Monk Sherborne, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
