What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Gundleton, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Extract fan repair in Gundleton: local notes
About 52 miles out from central London, Gundleton is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Gundleton. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
For school kitchens, at schools like Perins School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Report new noises from the fan early
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.

Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is, Gundleton included, the fan often sits on an outside 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 it becomes a nuisance. In a place like Gundleton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

Gundleton questions
Can you get to a site in Gundleton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Gundleton is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Gundleton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Gundleton keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
When to call us in Gundleton
Fans everywhere, Gundleton included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Gundleton, can seize between uses.
