About our extract fan repair in Hunt's Green
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. Common call-outs are for a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan that won’t start at all, across roof and wall fans, bearings and fan housings.
For a fan repair in or near Hunt's Green, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Hunt's Green questions
Can you work in Hunt's Green outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Hunt's Green needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hunt's Green?
That is Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hunt's Green. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Typically, a fan repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hunt's Green.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hunt's Green
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
What extract fan repair looks like in Hunt's Green
We cover Hunt's Green, about 30 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Hunt's Green. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Lee Common Church of England School, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Old Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Hunt's Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What’s near Hunt's Green
Typical jobs here are in premises near Misbourne School and Cock and Rabbit pub and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Great Missenden station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre. Nearby you will also find Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre (1.6 miles south) and Chiltern Hospital (2.4 miles south). The countryside around Hunt's Green includes Sands Bank and Haddington Hill.
Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
