Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hoe Gate
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. Common call-outs are for an overheating extract motor and a fan rattling in its housing, across kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens if it’s left?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. A planned visit to Hoe Gate is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.

Common questions in Hoe Gate
Do you cover Hoe Gate for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Hoe Gate is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do you work at weekends in Hoe Gate?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Hoe Gate needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
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 if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then give you a fixed quote.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
When to call us in Hoe Gate
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Hoe Gate, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
