How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If your building in Sewardstone has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Extract fan cleaning in Sewardstone, done properly
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way, and we plan that during the survey. If you’re dealing with an extract fan with no cleaning record and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can help.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Sewardstone, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When to call us in Sewardstone
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Burning smells from the fan area
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Forty Hall is about 2.8 miles west), access may need planning.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sewardstone
A fan that sounds rough in Sewardstone is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so we clean what we safely can.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Extract fan cleaning in Sewardstone: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Sewardstone and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Sewardstone sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Sewardstone are the job of Epping Forest council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Prince of Wales Primary School or anywhere near Sewardstone, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Michaels Hospital is the nearest hospital to Sewardstone, about 3.5 miles west.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A fan that will not start
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Sewardstone
Can you work in Sewardstone outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Sewardstone keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Sewardstone?
Food hygiene inspections in Sewardstone are carried out by Epping Forest council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is 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.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sewardstone
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
