Extract fan repair in Boarhunt
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. We are often asked to deal with an overheating extract motor and a humming noise from the fan motor, on fan housings, fan motors and belts and pulleys.
In a small place like Boarhunt, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.

The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Boarhunt is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

Extract fans in Boarhunt
At about 2 miles from the coast, Boarhunt is close enough for sea air to matter. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Boarhunt. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Boarhunt get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Boarhunt, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Cams Hill School, rather than mid-term.

FAQs for Boarhunt
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Boarhunt out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Boarhunt is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Does being near the coast affect extract fan repair in Boarhunt?
It can. Salt air reaches Boarhunt, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is 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.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we will always say when repair makes sense.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Never run the extract with filters missing
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Boarhunt and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
