Questions from Weeke
Can school kitchens in Weeke be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 18 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Weeke. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Weeke?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Weeke
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and grease stains around the discharge, we can help.
For a smaller kitchen near Weeke, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Weeke
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. We plan the journey to Weeke and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Grease, kitchens and Weeke
The Food Standards Agency lists about 25 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in Weeke and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Weeke. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Weeke is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Weeke Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. For kitchens close to Winchester station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Around Weeke
In Weeke, that means kitchens and buildings near Peter Symonds College, St. Cross Park and The Railway Inn, among other places. Weeke’s nearest station is Winchester station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Winchester Castle (0.9 miles south-east) and Royal Green Jackets (Rifles) Museum (0.8 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Twyford Down and Winnall Moors.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Weeke
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 where the spinning blades spread it around.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital about 0.7 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
