Extract fans in Cooper Street
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Cooper Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Cooper Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
For kitchens in and around Cooper Street, our emergency line runs 24/7. If you manage a school such as Sir Roger Manwood's School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

How we handle extract fan repair in Cooper Street
Wherever your kitchen is in Cooper Street, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. Common call-outs are for a belt-driven fan that squeals and a dead fan motor, across bearings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
Somewhere as small as Cooper Street, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Cooper Street knowing what to expect.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Cooper Street questions
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Cooper Street at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Cooper Street is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can the work in Cooper Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Cooper Street can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Cooper Street
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
What happens if it’s left?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. It’s simpler to plan the work at Cooper Street now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
