West Berkshire · Extract fan repair and replacement
Enborne extract fan repair
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Enborne. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Why deal with it now?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Trading since 2009
- Photo reports with every job
- We are fully insured
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Enborne
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Common call-outs are for a whining or grinding extract motor and a knocking noise from the extract fan, on bearings, fan housings and belts and pulleys.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and 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. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. For a village or hamlet like Enborne, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Extract fan repair around Enborne
Kitchens in Enborne get their food hygiene inspections from West Berkshire council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Enborne, about 56 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Enborne, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Enborne is about 2 miles west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. We provide extract fan repair for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Enborne and the rest of West Berkshire. 155 places in West Berkshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- An extract system that was undersized from the start

What else we do in Enborne
Do you need extract fan repair in Enborne?
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
What we are most often called out for:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An overheating extract motor
- A dead fan motor
If you manage a school such as Enborne C.E. Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether they recommend a next date
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
FAQs for Enborne
Can you get to a site in Enborne?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Enborne is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in Enborne?
Food hygiene inspections in Enborne are carried out by West Berkshire council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If parts have to be ordered, we’ll tell you how long that is likely to be.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
