About our extract fan cleaning in Norton Green
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. The work covers in-line fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles.
In a small place like Norton Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- A motor that has burnt out
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Extract fan cleaning in Norton Green: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Norton Green. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Norton Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Norton Green. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Norton Green (Mottistone Manor is about 4.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. School kitchens, at schools like All Saints Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Questions from Norton Green
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Norton Green?
It can, as Norton Green is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Norton Green out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Norton Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
A clean will not mend wear. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Is Norton Green in your area?
Yes. We work in Norton Green and across the Isle of Wight, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
Every clean has a photo report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

Other services in Norton Green
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Norton Green?
A greasy fan in Norton Green is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A fan that has never been cleaned
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints' Church or anywhere around Norton Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they’re fully insured
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere like Norton Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

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.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
