How we handle extract fan cleaning in North Warnborough
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a heavily greased fan housing and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
In a small place like North Warnborough, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as North Warnborough, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- 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

Advice
Grease, kitchens and North Warnborough
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs in North Warnborough and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Hart council inspect food businesses in North Warnborough. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers North Warnborough. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints Church or elsewhere in North Warnborough, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Robert May's School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Common questions in North Warnborough
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for North Warnborough?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers North Warnborough. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can a school canteen extract in North Warnborough be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of North Warnborough, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in North Warnborough?
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, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A motor area thick with grease
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan left out of previous cleans
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 4.9 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a survey comes first
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in North Warnborough
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
