Why deal with it now?
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Broad Street is calmer for everyone.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Extract fans in Broad Street
At about 3 miles from the coast, Broad Street is close enough for sea air to matter. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. In Broad Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. At about 51 miles from central London, Broad Street sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Broad Street, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Want a quote for extract fan repair? Please call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.

More services for Broad Street
Do you need extract fan repair in Broad Street?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An old fan that needs replacing
If you manage a school such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

- What insurance they carry
- Proof of accreditation you can verify

Common questions in Broad Street
Does being near the coast affect extract fan repair in Broad Street?
It can, as Broad Street is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Can you work in Broad Street outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Broad Street keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
