Kew’s large period homes on hilly, leafy blocks often have several bathrooms, an en-suite or two and a big kitchen — a lot of exhaust fans, many of them long duct runs into the roof. FreshDuct cleans and checks the lot, with photo proof.
Some fans working, others not? In a big Kew home it is easy to miss the ones failing quietly.
Kew is a leafy, hilly inner-eastern suburb of large Victorian, Edwardian and mid-century homes on generous blocks, many extended into substantial family houses. A home like that often has several bathrooms, one or two en-suites, a powder room, a laundry and a big kitchen — which adds up to a lot of exhaust fans, each with its own duct run.
In bigger homes those duct runs are long, and the further a fan sits from the eave the more likely its duct sags, disconnects or simply vents into the roof cavity. We work through every fan, clean each one, trace the ducting, and make sure the whole house is extracting — not just the two bathrooms everyone uses.
The things we check first on a Kew exhaust fan — based on the local homes, fans and ventilation we see.
A fan in the middle of a large Kew home has a long way to duct. We trace each run, clear any blockage or sag, and confirm it reaches the eave rather than dumping into the roof.
The quiet fans in a guest en-suite or powder room are easy to overlook and often the worst. We check and clean the ones that rarely get attention.
A big Kew kitchen fan pulls cooking grease that clogs the blades and duct. We degrease the fan and check the run so it keeps clearing steam and smoke.

A large Kew home rewards a proper walk-through of every exhaust fan. We clean each bathroom, en-suite, powder-room and laundry fan, degrease the kitchen unit, and test which are genuinely extracting and which are just making noise.
When a fan is not clearing the air it is usually the ducting — a long run that has come apart, sagged or was never connected outside. We track down where the damp air is actually going, correct it, and photograph each fix so you can see the whole home is now venting properly.
FreshDuct cleans and repairs exhaust fans across Kew and Kew East 7 days a week, and we are frequently working nearby in Hawthorn, Camberwell, Balwyn and Richmond, so a Kew service fits neatly into our schedule.
From the grand homes near Studley Park to the family houses up around Kew Junction, we can usually offer a prompt appointment and prioritise a bathroom or en-suite where the damp is already showing.
A thorough, documented clean and check — every fan, grille and duct run inspected so your bathroom, kitchen and laundry actually clear the air.
We check every exhaust fan — bathroom, kitchen and laundry — the grille, motor, blades and where the ducting actually runs.
A simple airflow test tells us whether the fan is genuinely pulling air out or just spinning and blowing dust around.
Grille, blades, motor housing and cover cleaned of dust, lint and grease so the fan moves the air it is meant to.
We trace the duct to the roof or eave, clear blockages, and flag any fan that vents into the roof cavity rather than outside.
A seized motor, a noisy bearing or a fan past its life — we free it up, replace the unit or fit new ducting, quoted first.
A clear before-and-after with photos and honest advice on airflow, moisture and whether the fan needs replacing.

Yes. We walk through the whole house — every bathroom, en-suite, powder room, laundry and the kitchen — clean each fan, test the extraction and trace the ducting, so the fans nobody uses much are not quietly failing.
Usually that fan has a long or disconnected duct run, or it vents into the roof cavity rather than outside, so the moist air never leaves. We find where the duct actually goes, re-connect it to the eave and get that bathroom extracting like the rest.

A standard clean is a fixed, affordable price per fan, with a better rate for the whole home. The cost only changes if a fan needs a new motor, a full replacement unit or new ducting — and we quote that clearly before we do anything. Call 04 3191 8137 for pricing.
Every one to two years for a bathroom or laundry fan, and more often for a kitchen fan that pulls cooking grease. Dust, lint and grease build up on the grille and blades and slowly choke the airflow, so a regular clean keeps the fan actually extracting the moisture and steam.
Usually one of three things: the grille and blades are clogged with dust so the fan cannot move air, the motor is worn and spinning slowly, or the ducting is blocked, disconnected or vents into the roof cavity instead of outside. We check all three and get the fan extracting properly again.
Bathroom, kitchen and laundry fans cleaned, freed up, re-ducted or replaced — grille, motor and ducting checked, with before-and-after photos. Available 7 days.
