Extract fan cleaning in Pinkneys Green, done properly
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you are dealing with rough running from the extract fan and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Pinkneys Green gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Run the extract throughout cooking
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

What else we do in Pinkneys Green
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Pinkneys Green
Do you work overnight in Pinkneys Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Pinkneys Green can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Pinkneys Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s 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. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it 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 an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Pinkneys Green when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What we’re called out for in Pinkneys Green
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we are most often called out for:
- A motor area thick with grease
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan left out of previous cleans
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. James the Less or elsewhere in Pinkneys Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
