Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Furzey Lodge
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 whining or grinding extract motor and a fan rattling in its housing, we can put it right, from fan motors, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Furzey Lodge, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
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.

Furzey Lodge: your questions answered
Can you work in Furzey Lodge outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Furzey Lodge keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Furzey Lodge?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Furzey Lodge. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
How much time does a fan repair need?
As a guide, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Do you need extract fan repair in Furzey Lodge?
In Furzey Lodge, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Beaulieu Village Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How they set the interval to the next visit
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
When a fan fails in Furzey Lodge
Look up Furzey Lodge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Furzey Lodge. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Furzey Lodge are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. 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.

What affects the quote in Furzey Lodge
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Leave it or put it right?
In Furzey Lodge, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Furzey Lodge is calmer for everyone.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
