What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Moss End
Not all extract fans are the same: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. Common call-outs are for hot, greasy smells near the fan and weak extraction at the canopy, across axial fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans.
Work in a small place like Moss End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Moss End, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

When to call us in Moss End
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
Where a hall near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Moss End, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Kitchen extracts in Moss End
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Moss End 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 Moss End get their food hygiene inspections from Bracknell Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Moss End is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
School kitchens, at schools like Garth Hill College for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Moss End (St Leonard's Hill is about 4.5 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Wiring faults to the fan
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Moss End
Which fire authority looks after Moss End?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Moss End?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Moss End is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and give you a fixed quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
