- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to South Weirs.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Extract fan cleaning in South Weirs
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you’re dealing with a fan that no longer moves enough air and a noisy fan that has got louder over time, we can help.
In a small place like South Weirs, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What we are called out for in South Weirs
A greasy fan in South Weirs is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Commuter trade near Brockenhurst station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in South Weirs

- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
