Extract fan cleaning in Wherwell
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you have grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Wherwell starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Keep access to the fan clear
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.
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.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Wherwell and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Why act early in Wherwell
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. We get to them through the duct or casing, once they’re isolated.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
What we are called out for in Wherwell
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Wherwell as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Questions from Wherwell
Who inspects food businesses in Wherwell?
Kitchens in Wherwell are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wherwell?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Grease on the blades and housing is one of the usual causes, because it unbalances the fan. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Extract fan cleaning around Wherwell
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in Wherwell and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Wherwell get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Wherwell is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
