Common questions in Brook
Can you work in Brook outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Brook within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
How we handle extract fan repair in Brook
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. Common call-outs are for a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a squealing belt on start-up, on fan motors, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
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.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Brook.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Extract fans in Brook
Food hygiene inspections in Brook are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. About 35 miles out from central London, Brook is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as King Edward's School Witley or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If a fan fails in Brook at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.
Brook is about 8 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. Every kind of commercial site in Brook, extract fan repair is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, and Brook is one of them. Guildford is in our area too, around 9 miles away.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. In a small place like Brook, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
