How we handle extract fan cleaning in Stud Green
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers centrifugal fans, in-line fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
In a village or hamlet like Stud Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.

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, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When to call us in Stud Green
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 2.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A motor that has burnt out
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like Stud Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Stud Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stud Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Stud Green. 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. Kitchens in Stud Green get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Holyport College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Dorney Court, about 2.7 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Stud Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What the work involves, part by part

Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them and we check the area around the outlet. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Stud Green questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stud Green?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Stud Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Stud Green out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Stud Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep records of every fan clean
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.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Why act early in Stud Green
A fan that sounds rough in Stud Green is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. If the system at a site near Stud Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
