West Sussex · Extract fan repair and replacement
Domewood extract fan repair
Extract fan repair in Domewood from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An old fan that needs replacing
Why deal with it now?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why us?
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

About our extract fan repair in Domewood
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. If you have a worn or slipping fan belt and a motor that trips out or overheats, we can put it right, from bearings, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys onwards.
Somewhere as small as Domewood, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What extract fan repair looks like in Domewood
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Domewood and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. At about 25 miles from central London, Domewood sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Mid Sussex council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Domewood. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Imberhorne School, rather than mid-term.

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control

Your questions about extract fan repair in Domewood
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Domewood at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Domewood can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you work in Domewood outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Domewood keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we’ll explain why.
Do you need extract fan repair in Domewood?
In Domewood, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A worn or slipping fan belt
If a fan fails in Domewood at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. For a village or hamlet like Domewood, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

How we price extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
