How we handle extract fan cleaning in Moulsoe

Any fan serving a kitchen in Moulsoe is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, across centrifugal fans, in-line fans and fan housings.

For a kitchen in or near Moulsoe, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract fan cleaning around Moulsoe

Look up Moulsoe on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways across Moulsoe and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Fire safety in Moulsoe falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Milton Keynes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Moulsoe. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Linford Manor is about 3.4 miles west), access may need planning. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Moulsoe, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Common problems we fix in Moulsoe

The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.

The symptoms we are asked about most include:

  • Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
  • An extract fan with no cleaning record
  • An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
  • A fan that hums, whines or rumbles

A hospital like Milton Keynes University Hospital, about 3.7 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

What staff can safely do

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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

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.

What affects the quote in Moulsoe

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:

  • How big the system is
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The condition of the system

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What happens if it’s left?

Cleaning the fan in Moulsoe now is a short job: it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Moulsoe rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What you get with us

  • Fully insured
  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • Every job surveyed first
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What the work involves, part by part

Inline duct fans

Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.

Wall fans

A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Moulsoe

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

The process

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Moulsoe before we set off.

  1. We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
  4. We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
  5. The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Get a fixed quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Moulsoe questions

Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Moulsoe in the summer holidays?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Moulsoe, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.

Who is the fire and rescue service for Moulsoe?

That’s Buckinghamshire 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.

Are you accredited?

Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?

Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.

Who is the responsible person?

The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.

Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?

A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
