Extract Fan Cleaning in Northend
Professional extract fan cleaning in and around Northend, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a small place like Northend, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- 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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Extract fan cleaning in Northend
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Northend, typically within one working day. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan that no longer moves enough air.
For a kitchen in or near Northend, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Northend
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Why it’s worth doing now in Northend
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Somewhere as small as Northend, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Northend
Can you come to Northend after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Northend needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you work in villages like Northend?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Northend included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
