Extract fan cleaning in Myrke, done properly
In Myrke, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers discharge points, in-line fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
Work in a small place like Myrke starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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 photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Myrke.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Common questions in Myrke
Which council inspects kitchens in Myrke?
That is Slough council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Myrke. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can a school canteen extract in Myrke be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 45 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Myrke. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Is Myrke in your area?
Yes. Myrke is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, it should be. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Why act early in Myrke
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. It’s simpler to plan the work at Myrke now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Myrke
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Every job surveyed first
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with pictures after each visit

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. We note any concerns.

Myrke kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 115 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 56 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Myrke. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. The fire and rescue service for Myrke is Royal Berkshire 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 Slough council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Myrke. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Laurence or elsewhere in Myrke, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A kitchen near Slough station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. For schools such as Long Close School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
