Extract fan repair in Gubbion's Green
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. We are often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mountings and a whining or grinding extract motor, across fan housings, fan motors and belts and pulleys.
A callout to a small place like Gubbion's Green goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Gubbion's Green
Fans everywhere, Gubbion's Green included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Fan failures around Gubbion's Green don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
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.

FAQs for Gubbion's Green
Is Gubbion's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Gubbion's Green at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Gubbion's Green is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
