How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sipson
Any fan serving a kitchen in Sipson is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans onwards.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Sipson is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are 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.

Grease, kitchens and Sipson
Food Standards Agency records include about 17 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 18 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sipson. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Sipson is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Sipson are the job of Hillingdon council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Cherry Lane Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Sipson, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep access to the fan clear
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Questions from Sipson
Is parking a problem for work in Sipson?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Which council inspects kitchens in Sipson?
Food hygiene inspections in Sipson are carried out by Hillingdon council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not 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.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
When to call us in Sipson
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Sipson as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Osterley House is about 4.3 miles east), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Proof of insurance
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether VAT is included
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- A motor that has burnt out
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Before any visit in Sipson, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
