Extract fan cleaning in Shalden
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you’re dealing with vibration from an unbalanced impeller and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can help, from axial fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points onwards.
In a small place like Shalden, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
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.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Questions from Shalden
Do you cover smaller places like Shalden?
Yes. Shalden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Shalden after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Shalden can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Shalden before we set off.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What affects the quote in Shalden
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. In a small place like Shalden, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Shalden
Food hygiene inspections in Shalden are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. About 45 miles out from central London, Shalden is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Shalden, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Alton Community Hospital about 2.3 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hall Place is about 2.5 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
