Extract fan cleaning in Winchfield Hurst
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will 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 escaping from the fan outlet and hot, greasy smells near the fan, on roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Winchfield Hurst, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Winchfield Hurst
Look up Winchfield Hurst on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Winchfield Hurst, up to about a mile and a half out. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Winchfield Hurst sits within the area of 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. Kitchens in Winchfield Hurst get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 1.7 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Winchfield Hurst, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- An impeller that is bent or split
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans

How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Winchfield Hurst
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Winchfield Hurst?
The local authority for Winchfield Hurst is Hart council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Winchfield Hurst?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Winchfield Hurst. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
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 are fully insured.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Winchfield Hurst, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that sounds rough in Winchfield Hurst is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Winchfield Hurst is calmer for everyone.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
