How we handle extract fan cleaning in Peckham Bush
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type, and we plan that during the survey. If you are dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as 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.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere as small as Peckham Bush, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What else we do in Peckham Bush
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Peckham Bush?
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A motor area thick with grease
- Rough running from the extract fan
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Peckham Bush is Oakwood Hospital, about 5.5 miles north-east.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Kitchen extracts in Peckham Bush
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Peckham Bush. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Peckham Bush. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Peckham Bush are the job of Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like East Peckham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Historic houses near Peckham Bush, such as Old Soar Manor about 3.8 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Peckham Bush questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Peckham Bush?
Food hygiene inspections in Peckham Bush are carried out by Tonbridge and Malling council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come to Peckham Bush after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Peckham Bush keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
It takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a small place like Peckham Bush, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
