Extract Fan Cleaning in Wildmoor
We cover Wildmoor for extract fan cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A motor area thick with grease
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Check filters are seated before cooking
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Extract fan cleaning in Wildmoor
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for grease around the motor and its mounts and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, on in-line fans, centrifugal fans and axial fans.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
What a clean won’t put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that will not start
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Wildmoor is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

More services for Wildmoor
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Wildmoor
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Wildmoor. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Wildmoor is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Wildmoor get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Loddon School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 3 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Wildmoor
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- 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

Common problems we fix in Wildmoor
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A fan shaking on its mounts
A hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 4.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Common questions in Wildmoor
Can school kitchens in Wildmoor be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wildmoor. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Which fire service covers Wildmoor?
Fire safety enforcement in Wildmoor is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. 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.
Do you cover Wildmoor?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Wildmoor included.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
