How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor is not always to blame.
How we handle extract fan repair in Frogmore
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and bearings, and people most often call us about a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a whining or grinding extract motor.
For a fan repair near Frogmore, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, based on what you tell us about the fan.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. For a place like Frogmore, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What else we do in Frogmore
Extract fan repair around Frogmore
Food Standards Agency data counts about 44 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 36 sandwich bars and takeaways across Frogmore and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. We cover Frogmore, about 32 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Hart council inspect food businesses in Frogmore. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Frogmore Junior School, fix a failing fan before term starts. Hall kitchens near St Barnabas Church, or anywhere around Frogmore, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control

FAQs for Frogmore
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Frogmore?
That’s Hart council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Frogmore. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Will you come out to Frogmore?
Yes. Frogmore is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
When to call us in Frogmore
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A dead fan motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
For a takeaway near Sandhurst station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.
