About our extract fan cleaning in Stanford Common
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Stanford Common, typically within one working day. If you have a fan coated in grease inside its housing and grease escaping from the fan outlet, we can help, from centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Stanford Common, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has 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 are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- File the fan’s report with your other records
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Stanford Common, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Planning a trip to Stanford Common ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Extract fan cleaning in Stanford Common: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Stanford Common. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Stanford Common. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Stanford Common are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Brookwood Hospital, about 2.6 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Stanford Common (Wanborough Manor is about 3.5 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Knowl Hill School or anywhere near Stanford Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Questions from Stanford Common
Do you cover smaller places like Stanford Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stanford Common included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Stanford Common be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Stanford Common does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
It has to be off and isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Damaged fan blades
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What affects the quote in Stanford Common
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
