Extract Fan Cleaning in Norwood Hill
Extract fan cleaning in Norwood Hill, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
About our extract fan cleaning in Norwood Hill
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. We are often asked to deal with a heavily greased fan housing and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, on axial fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans.
Work in a small place like Norwood Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Norwood Hill: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Norwood Hill?
Yes, Norwood Hill is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Norwood Hill?
That is Mole Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Norwood Hill. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere as small as Norwood Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Planning a trip to Norwood Hill ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Norwood Hill?
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Norwood Hill as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Langley Green Hospital (about 3.6 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of insurance
