Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Ibthorpe
Kitchens in Ibthorpe call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. We are often asked to deal with a whining or grinding extract motor and an extract fan that has stopped working, on bearings, fan motors and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Ibthorpe, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What extract fan repair looks like in Ibthorpe
Kitchens in Ibthorpe get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you manage a school such as Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Ibthorpe is about 5 miles north of Andover, in Hampshire.

When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
When to call us in Ibthorpe
Fans everywhere, Ibthorpe included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An overheating extract motor
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Ibthorpe, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ibthorpe run smoothly.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Ibthorpe: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ibthorpe?
That’s Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ibthorpe. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Ibthorpe out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Ibthorpe is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
