Extract fan cleaning in Soberton, done properly
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a fan left out of previous cleans, across discharge points, in-line fans and fan housings.
Work in a small place like Soberton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, as 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.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Leave a clear route to the fan
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
FAQs for Soberton
Do you work overnight in Soberton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Soberton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Soberton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Soberton is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Part by part
Inline duct fans
Some fans are built into the duct itself. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a village or hamlet like Soberton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What happens if it’s left?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Somewhere as small as Soberton, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Soberton
Soberton is about 59 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Soberton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Soberton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Knowle Hospital is the nearest hospital to Soberton, about 5.4 miles south-west. For schools such as Droxford Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Soberton is about 6 miles north-west of Horndean, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Soberton, we can take on extract fan cleaning. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Soberton is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. We also work in Portsmouth, about 10 miles from Soberton.
Extract fan cleaning in SO32 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. We cover sites on High Street, Station Road and Long Road and nearby roads. Nearby, we also carry out extract fan cleaning in Droxford (1 mile north), Brockbridge (1 mile north), Soberton Heath (2 miles south), Hill Grove (2 miles west) and Southend (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Winchester (11 miles north-west), Gosport (10 miles south), Havant (9 miles south-east), Eastleigh (9 miles west), Fareham (7 miles south-west) and Horndean (6 miles south-east).
What’s near Soberton
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around White Lion Inn and the streets around them. A little further out are Knowle Hospital (5.4 miles south-west) and Bishop's Waltham Museum (3.7 miles west). The countryside around Soberton includes Beacon Hill and St Clair's Meadow.
Staff cleaning versus 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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
