For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Brookhampton
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. 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, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan housings and bearings, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a knocking noise from the extract fan.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere like Brookhampton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Why act early in Brookhampton
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Common questions in Brookhampton
Do you work in villages like Brookhampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Brookhampton?
Day or night, a failed fan in Brookhampton can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
How much time does a fan repair need?
A typical repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service where possible.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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 without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Extract fan repair around Brookhampton
About 46 miles out from central London, Brookhampton is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brookhampton. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Hall kitchens near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere around Brookhampton, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Common problems we fix in Brookhampton
In Brookhampton, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Stadhampton Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
