Extract fan cleaning in Stalisfield
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Typical jobs include a noisy fan that has got louder over time and burning smells from the fan area, on discharge points, roof-mounted fans and axial fans.
For a kitchen in or near Stalisfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Stalisfield
Can you work in Stalisfield outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Stalisfield doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stalisfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Stalisfield are carried out by Swale council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is 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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Stalisfield?
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Stalisfield (Belmont House and Gardens is about 2.6 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether VAT is included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
How we price extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Somewhere as small as Stalisfield, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. Planning a trip to Stalisfield ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
