Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Penny Pot
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have a motor area thick with grease and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help.
In a small place like Penny Pot, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. 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.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Report rattles or humming early
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
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.

What else we do in Penny Pot
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. With notice, the visit to Penny Pot can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
Penny Pot questions
Can you get to a site in Penny Pot?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Penny Pot is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Penny Pot?
That’s Surrey Heath council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Penny Pot. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere as small as Penny Pot, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
