Extract Fan Repair in Flemings
Extract fan repair for Flemings, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
Extract fan repair in Flemings
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you’re dealing with a squealing belt on start-up and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can put it right.
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.
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 and sits alongside the report.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.

How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Extract fans in Flemings
Food hygiene inspections in Flemings are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. 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.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Flemings, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Why it’s worth doing now in Flemings
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Flemings rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Flemings: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Flemings?
Kitchens in Flemings are inspected by Dover council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Flemings?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Flemings is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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 tell me the price of a fan repair?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Flemings, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
