Why act early in Chartwell Green
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Even a site near Chartwell Green that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.

How we handle extract fan repair in Chartwell Green
Kitchens in Chartwell Green call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you have a dead fan motor and a worn or slipping fan belt, we can help.
In a place like Chartwell Green, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain the options.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Extract fan repair around Chartwell Green
There are about 37 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 40 takeaways and sandwich shops across Chartwell Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Kitchens in Chartwell Green get their food hygiene inspections from Eastleigh council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
For school kitchens, at schools like Townhill Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Chartwell Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Common questions in Chartwell Green
Which environmental health team covers Chartwell Green?
The local authority for Chartwell Green is Eastleigh council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Chartwell Green?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Chartwell Green is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Chartwell Green
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate

What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Your opening hours decide when we come to Chartwell Green, not ours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.

Advice
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
