Extractor fan repair in Chale Green
Professional extract fan repair in and around Chale Green, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- An overheating extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A worn or slipping fan belt
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Extract fan repair in Chale Green, done properly
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you’re dealing with an overheating extract motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can help.
A callout to a small place like Chale Green goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract fans in Chale Green
Chale Green lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Kitchens in Chale Green get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St. James' Church, or anywhere in Chale Green, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Questions from Chale Green
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Chale Green?
Extract fan emergencies in Chale Green are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who inspects food businesses in Chale Green?
In Chale Green, it’s Isle of Wight council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan normally means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we will tell you the reasons.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Chale Green
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
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’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Do you need extract fan repair in Chale Green?
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that will not start is not always a dead motor.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A motor that trips out or overheats
For kitchens in and around Chale Green, our emergency line runs 24/7.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of insurance
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Why act early in Chale Green
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Chale Green 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’ll price it together.
Why Chale Green businesses choose us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Trading since 2009
- Photo reports with every job
