Extract fan cleaning in Sunnymeads
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for rough running from the extract fan and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, across roof-mounted fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
Somewhere as small as Sunnymeads, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.
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.

Common questions in Sunnymeads
Who is the fire and rescue service for Sunnymeads?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Sunnymeads. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Sunnymeads?
The local authority for Sunnymeads is Windsor and Maidenhead council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
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. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Sunnymeads
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Sunnymeads.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A fan clean in Sunnymeads does not take long: the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. A fault that closes a site in a village like Sunnymeads affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

When to call us in Sunnymeads
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
For schools such as Wraysbury Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Kitchen extracts in Sunnymeads
There are about 23 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways across Sunnymeads and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Sunnymeads sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Sunnymeads, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near SS Peter and Andrew's Church, or anywhere in Sunnymeads, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like King Edward VII Hospital, about 2.4 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
