How we handle extract fan repair in Allbrook
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Typical jobs include an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a humming noise from the fan motor, on fan housings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Allbrook often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
What happens if it’s left?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. A quieter site near Allbrook still needs its system looked after.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Questions from Allbrook
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Allbrook at night?
Allbrook is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Which environmental health team covers Allbrook?
Kitchens in Allbrook are inspected by Eastleigh council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.

Extract fan repair in Allbrook: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 65 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 28 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Allbrook. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Eastleigh council inspect food businesses in Allbrook.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
