How we handle extract fan cleaning in Wyck
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you are dealing with a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and a fan coated in grease inside its housing, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Wyck, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.

What affects the quote in Wyck
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Kitchen extracts in Wyck
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Wyck. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Wyck, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Wyck, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Alton Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wyck, about 3.2 miles west.

When it’s something else
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Wyck knowing what to expect.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Report rattles or humming early
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Common problems we fix in Wyck
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
School kitchens, at schools like Binsted Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

FAQs for Wyck
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wyck?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Wyck. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work overnight in Wyck?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Wyck needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow an hour or two for most single fans. Your quote will give an idea.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, we do. We record it as a fan-only clean, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
