Hampshire · Extract fan repair and replacement
Inhurst extract fan repair
We cover Inhurst for repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
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.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Inhurst
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. If you’re dealing with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a failed fan that needs a replacement, we can put it right.
For a fan repair in or near Inhurst, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Inhurst and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Inhurst
- We diagnose before we treat
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

Extract fan repair in Inhurst: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Inhurst. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Inhurst, about 48 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Inhurst. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Saint Mary's Church or elsewhere in Inhurst, can seize between uses. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as The Hurst School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Inhurst
Can the work in Inhurst be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Inhurst needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Inhurst?
Yes. Inhurst is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Inhurst.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
