Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Throwley Forstal
In Throwley Forstal, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. The work covers roof-mounted fans, axial fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about a fan left out of previous cleans and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
Work in a small place like Throwley Forstal starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Throwley Forstal
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Leave it or put it right?

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Throwley Forstal and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Common questions in Throwley Forstal
Do you work at weekends in Throwley Forstal?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Throwley Forstal does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Throwley Forstal?
Yes, Throwley Forstal is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Throwley Forstal
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
