Extract fan cleaning in Nether Wallop, done properly
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you’re dealing with a smell of hot grease from the extract and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right.
In a small place like Nether Wallop, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Nether Wallop, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Related advice
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Report grease escaping from the fan
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Nether Wallop
Do you work at weekends in Nether Wallop?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Nether Wallop?
Nether Wallop is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Nether Wallop
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
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.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Nether Wallop?
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
For schools such as Wallop Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
