Extract fan repair in Headley
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. If you’re dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, fan motors and bearings onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Headley, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
What extract fan repair looks like in Headley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Headley. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. At about 41 miles from central London, Headley sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Headley get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Headley, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The Holme Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Questions from Headley
Which council inspects kitchens in Headley?
Food hygiene inspections in Headley are carried out by East Hampshire council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Headley?
Day or night, a failed fan in Headley can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. You’ll know more once we have found the fault.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.

Why deal with it now?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that’s the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
