Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Twyford
Who is the fire and rescue service for Twyford?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Twyford in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Twyford. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much 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.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, if the fan needs it. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan typically means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Twyford
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 centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan left out of previous cleans.
Work in a small place like Twyford starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Listen to the fan. New noise or vibration often means grease is building on the impeller, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Twyford.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Kitchen extracts in Twyford
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars in Twyford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Twyford. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Twyford is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 2.9 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Twyford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run a café or takeaway near Shawford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Twyford is about 3 miles south of Winchester, in Hampshire.

What affects the quote in Twyford
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens if it’s left?
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. If the system at a site near Twyford fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
