How we handle extract fan repair in Chalton
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you are dealing with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a worn or slipping fan belt, we can put it right.
For a fan repair in or near Chalton, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Why deal with it now?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Chalton and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Chalton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Extract fan repair in Chalton: local notes
Kitchens in Chalton get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. About 54 miles out from central London, Chalton is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Chalton, can seize between uses. Around Chalton, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.

- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.

Chalton questions
Is Chalton within the area you cover?
Yes, Chalton is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Chalton?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Chalton is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.
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’re fully insured.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Somewhere as small as Chalton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
