About our extract fan cleaning in Streatham Hill
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you are dealing with a motor area thick with grease and a heavily greased fan housing, we can put it right, from in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points onwards.
Kitchens in Streatham Hill, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
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.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Streatham Hill.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system

What affects the quote in Streatham Hill
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep records of every fan clean
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Streatham Hill kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 85 pubs, bars and clubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses in and around Streatham Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Lambeth council inspect food businesses in Streatham Hill. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
If you run a café or takeaway near Streatham Hill station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Streatham Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Streatham Hill (Kingswood House is about 1.9 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

Questions from Streatham Hill
How do you handle parking and loading in Streatham Hill?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Can the work in Streatham Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Streatham Hill needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We always isolate the fan first, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
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 legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.

Other services in Streatham Hill
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that sounds rough in Streatham Hill is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it typically is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. For a site in Streatham Hill, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
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. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Part by part
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.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
