Hampshire · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extract fan repair and replacement in Forest Corner, Hampshire
We cover Forest Corner for repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A humming noise from the fan motor
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
Extract fan repair in Forest Corner, done properly
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. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before we start. If you have a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can help.
For a fan repair in or near Forest Corner, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys

- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Common problems we fix in Forest Corner
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Forest Corner or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you manage a school such as Poulner Infant School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Extract fans in Forest Corner
Look up Forest Corner on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Forest Corner. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Forest Corner are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Forest Corner, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Forest Corner
Which council inspects kitchens in Forest Corner?
In Forest Corner, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you cover Forest Corner for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Forest Corner are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How much time does a fan repair need?
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.

What happens if it’s left?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. A planned visit to Forest Corner is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
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’ll explain each part.
Why us?
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected.

- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

- Parking and loading at the site
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
