What else we do in Egham Hythe
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
Common problems we fix in Egham Hythe
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Look out for any of the following:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Hall kitchens near St Paul's Church, or anywhere around Egham Hythe, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve

How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Egham Hythe can usually be finished without a second trip.
- 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.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

FAQs for Egham Hythe
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Egham Hythe?
Food hygiene inspections in Egham Hythe are carried out by Runnymede council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can the work in Egham Hythe be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Egham Hythe keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we will tell you the reasons.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you cover Egham Hythe?
Yes. We work in Egham Hythe and across Surrey, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How long will the fan be out of action?
As a guide, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If parts have to be ordered, we’ll tell you how long that is likely to be.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
