Extract fan cleaning in Shepperton
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you are dealing with a fan left out of previous cleans and rough running from the extract fan, we can put it right, from discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans onwards.
Around a smaller place like Shepperton, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What we’re called out for in Shepperton
How fast a fan gets greasy in Shepperton depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Grease stains around the discharge
Commuter trade near Shepperton station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a place like Shepperton are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Common questions in Shepperton
Will you come out to Shepperton?
Yes, Shepperton is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Shepperton?
Food hygiene inspections in Shepperton are carried out by Spelthorne council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. 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.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you do not have to close during trading.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Shepperton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
If you need extract fan cleaning in Shepperton, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Shepperton kitchens: local notes
Look up Shepperton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 63 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 22 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Shepperton, up to about a mile and a half out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Shepperton. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Spelthorne council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shepperton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Thamesmead School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Shepperton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
