Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Wormshill
Do you cover smaller places like Wormshill?
Yes. Wormshill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Wormshill?
Day or night, a failed fan in Wormshill can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
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 legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wormshill
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fully insured
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
