Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Yarbridge
Which council inspects kitchens in Yarbridge?
The local authority for Yarbridge is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Yarbridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Yarbridge does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Extract fan cleaning in Yarbridge, done properly
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Typical jobs include a heavily greased fan housing and vibration from an unbalanced impeller, across centrifugal fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Yarbridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Yarbridge
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Planning a trip to Yarbridge ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

What we’re called out for in Yarbridge
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A motor area thick with grease
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School or anywhere near Yarbridge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Yarbridge
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Grease, kitchens and Yarbridge
Yarbridge lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 19 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Yarbridge. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Fire safety in Yarbridge falls to 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.
For kitchens close to Brading station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Where a hall near St. Mary's Church, or anywhere in Yarbridge, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Yarbridge, 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.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
