How we handle extract fan repair in Hollington
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. We’re often asked to deal with an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and an overheating extract motor, across belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a place like Hollington is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hollington
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Hollington than wait for a failure.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Related advice
Hollington: your questions answered
Can the work in Hollington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can sea air affect extract fan repair in Hollington?
It can. Hollington is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When a fan fails in Hollington
Sea air reaches Hollington, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 37 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 31 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Hollington, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Hollington are the job of Hastings 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.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Hollington Primary Academy, rather than mid-term.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- 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

What we’re called out for in Hollington
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Anne or elsewhere in Hollington, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You will hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
