How we handle extract fan repair in Coleshill
If an extract fan in Coleshill is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. If you’re dealing with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a motor that trips out or overheats, we can put it right.
In a small place like Coleshill, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Duct Doctor has 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.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Coleshill, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Common questions in Coleshill
Do you work overnight in Coleshill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Coleshill needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Coleshill?
Yes, Coleshill is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We’ll give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Common problems we fix in Coleshill
Fans everywhere, Coleshill included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Coleshill, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Leave it or put it right?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Coleshill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
