Questions from Stockbridge
Can school kitchens in Stockbridge be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Stockbridge. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Will you come out to Stockbridge?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stockbridge included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Stockbridge
In Stockbridge, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: 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. The work covers discharge points, fan housings and axial fans, and people most often call us about thick grease on the impeller and casing and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
Somewhere as small as Stockbridge, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. 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 carry full insurance.

What else we do in Stockbridge
What we do, step by step
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. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Stockbridge can be planned properly.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
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.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What staff can safely do
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Grease, kitchens and Stockbridge
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stockbridge. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Stockbridge is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Stockbridge are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Stockbridge, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stockbridge Primary & Pre-School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What happens if it’s left?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen cannot cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A fault that closes a site in a village like Stockbridge affects everyone who depends on it.

- The times the site is available

- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
