- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
Extract fan repair in Ingrams Green, done properly
Wherever your kitchen is in Ingrams Green, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you’re dealing with a motor that trips out or overheats and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Ingrams Green, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
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.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Ingrams Green
Do you cover Ingrams Green for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Ingrams Green are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Which council inspects kitchens in Ingrams Green?
In Ingrams Green, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we will explain why.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What happens if it’s left?
In Ingrams Green, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. A planned visit to Ingrams Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Ingrams Green
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys

- Fan housings
Signs you need extract fan repair in Ingrams Green
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan that won’t start at all
Belts, bearings, motors and impellers are all checked when we look at a fan around Ingrams Green.
Before booking anyone

- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.

Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan.
