Extract fan cleaning in Noke Common
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A heart under strain works harder for less. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. The work covers discharge points, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.
Somewhere as small as Noke Common, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
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’re fully insured.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix

- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Noke Common
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
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 to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Planning a trip to Noke Common ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Noke Common
At about 3 miles from the coast, Noke Common is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Noke Common. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Noke Common sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Mary's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Noke Common, about 0.8 miles south-east. For schools such as Hunnyhill Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Noke Common is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Questions from Noke Common
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Noke Common?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Noke Common than inland. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Can you get to a site in Noke Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Noke Common
A fan in Noke Common builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. John the Baptist or elsewhere in Noke Common, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
