About our extract fan cleaning in Teasley Mead
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and rough running from the extract fan.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller and early action can save a repair.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Teasley Mead
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

- Grease in the canopy and ductwork

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like Teasley Mead, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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
When to call us in Teasley Mead
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints, or anywhere in Teasley Mead, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Why it’s worth doing now in Teasley Mead
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. In a small place like Teasley Mead, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

Teasley Mead questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Teasley Mead?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Teasley Mead. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Teasley Mead after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Teasley Mead can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
