What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Farleigh Green
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you have an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, we can put it right.
In a small place like Farleigh Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out 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 are fully insured.

Do you need extract fan repair in Farleigh Green?
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Farleigh Green or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Farleigh Green, can seize between uses.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Farleigh Green is calmer for everyone.
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’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- We’re fully insured
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Every visit written up, with pictures

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Report new noises from the fan early
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
What extract fan repair looks like in Farleigh Green
Food hygiene inspections in Farleigh Green are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. About 30 miles out from central London, Farleigh Green is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you manage a school such as East Farleigh Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Farleigh Green questions
Can you come to Farleigh Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Farleigh Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Farleigh Green?
Extract fan emergencies in Farleigh Green are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Farleigh Green
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.

How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Farleigh Green can be planned properly.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
