Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Harting
Any fan serving a kitchen in South Harting 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. Common call-outs are for a fan coated in grease inside its housing and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across discharge points, axial fans and in-line fans.
In a small place like South Harting, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in South Harting
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around South Harting, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. South Harting is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in South Harting. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Harting CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Uppark, about 1.2 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near South Harting; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Long cooking hours mean more grease reaches the fan. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. We scrape and degrease the blades and casing.

How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Do you need extract fan cleaning in South Harting?
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 3.6 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Questions from South Harting
Who is the fire and rescue service for South Harting?
Fire safety enforcement in South Harting is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like South Harting?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, South Harting included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so the record is accurate.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in South Harting
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a place like South Harting, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is 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 work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like South Harting, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
