In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not 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.
About our extract fan cleaning in Rowner
Grease on a fan is not spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. Cleaning the impeller and housing puts that right. We are often asked to deal with a motor area thick with grease and weak extraction at the canopy, across axial fans, centrifugal fans and in-line fans.
For a smaller kitchen near Rowner, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What we are called out for in Rowner
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital (about 2.3 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Rowner
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We plan the journey to Rowner and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Keep access to the fan clear
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Rowner
Will you come out to Rowner?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Rowner included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan cleaning in Rowner?
It can. Salt air reaches Rowner, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning does not, the bearings or motor may need attention.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Kitchen extracts in Rowner
Rowner is within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 36 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 25 sandwich bars and takeaways in Rowner and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Rowner get their food hygiene inspections from Gosport council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bridgemary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Matthew's or elsewhere in Rowner, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why act early in Rowner
