About our extract fan cleaning in Purbrook
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you have grease stains around the discharge and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can help, from fan housings, roof-mounted fans and axial fans onwards.
Around a town like Purbrook, extract cleaning usually means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Each has a canopy, filters, ductwork and a fan to keep clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Purbrook questions
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan cleaning in Purbrook?
It can, as Purbrook is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Purbrook out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 10 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Purbrook, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A fan that needs repair is noted on the report, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you work in Purbrook?
Yes. We work in Purbrook and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Leave it or put it right?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Each month of use adds to the build-up, so a site in Purbrook is better off booking it now.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. In Purbrook, the visit is planned around your opening hours, parking and access to the system.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Purbrook
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Purbrook as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Purbrook is Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-west.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

There are about 36 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 29 takeaways and sandwich shops in Purbrook and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register.
