Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Peartree Green
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with burning smells from the fan area and a motor area thick with grease, across in-line fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
Around a smaller place like Peartree Green, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
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. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Peartree Green can typically be finished without a second trip.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Extract fan cleaning around Peartree Green
The coast is only about 1 mile from Peartree Green. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 308 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 110 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Peartree Green. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. It’s Southampton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Peartree Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal South Hants Hospital (about 1 mile north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Peartree Green United Reform Church, or anywhere in Peartree Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Make sure the fan is included each time
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Peartree Green?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
For schools such as Ludlow Infant Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Peartree Green
Which fire authority looks after Peartree Green?
Peartree Green is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Peartree Green during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 35 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Peartree Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
