Questions from Beckley
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Beckley?
Day or night, a failed fan in Beckley can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work in villages like Beckley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Beckley
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. Typical jobs include a dead fan motor and a squealing belt on start-up, on roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
In a village or hamlet like Beckley, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
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 carry full insurance.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Visits to a village like Beckley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Never run the extract with filters missing
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Why it’s worth doing now in Beckley
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Somewhere as small as Beckley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Photo reports with every job
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures

That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We cover Beckley, about 51 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

When it’s something else
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Beckley
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Common problems we fix in Beckley
Fans everywhere, Beckley included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An overheating extract motor
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Beckley Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
