Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pizien Well
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a fan shaking on its mounts.
In a small place like Pizien Well, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
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 are fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- 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.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Pizien Well?
Grease condenses as the air cools, 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.
What we are most often called out for:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Pizien Well (Old Soar Manor is about 3.5 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Pizien Well

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Pizien Well is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Maidstone council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Pizien Well. 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.

Questions from Pizien Well
Which fire authority looks after Pizien Well?
Pizien Well is in the area of Kent 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.
Who inspects food businesses in Pizien Well?
Kitchens in Pizien Well are inspected by Maidstone council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is Pizien Well in your area?
Yes. Pizien Well is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Pizien Well can be planned properly.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Honest limits
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- An impeller that is bent or split
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that won’t start
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
