Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Further Quarter
Wherever your kitchen is in Further Quarter, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. The work covers roof and wall fans, bearings and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.
In a small place like Further Quarter, 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, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
