What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Newington
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Typical jobs include a noisy fan that has got louder over time and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, on roof-mounted fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Newington gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Newington
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

Newington kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Newington, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newington. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Food hygiene inspections in Newington are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you cook for passing trade around Newington station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Newington Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Newington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the visit works
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 few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Newington, so let us know how to reach it.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
