Extract fan cleaning in Stoneleigh, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that is what we clean. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are grease stains around the discharge and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
Kitchens around a place like Stoneleigh are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Common problems we fix in Stoneleigh
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Commuter trade near Stoneleigh station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Questions from Stoneleigh
Will you come out to Stoneleigh?
Yes. Stoneleigh is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stoneleigh?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Grease, kitchens and Stoneleigh
The Food Standards Agency lists about 12 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stoneleigh. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Stoneleigh is covered by Surrey 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. Environmental health officers from Epsom and Ewell council inspect food businesses in Stoneleigh. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Auriol Junior School or anywhere near Stoneleigh, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Ebba's Hospital (about 1.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Keep the route to the fan clear. 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.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A site near Stoneleigh typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
