If you have poor airflow at the canopy and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can help.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Hutton Mount
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Hutton Mount?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Hutton Mount is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you work in villages like Hutton Mount?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hutton Mount included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How do you 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.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
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 carry full insurance.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hutton Mount
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is, Hutton Mount included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. When a site near Hutton Mount shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Do you need extract fan repair in Hutton Mount?
In Hutton Mount, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dead fan motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A squealing belt on start-up
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Joseph the Worker Catholic Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
