About our extract fan repair in Leagreen
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
Somewhere as small as Leagreen, 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.
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.

Why act early in Leagreen
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. If the system at a site near Leagreen fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Questions from Leagreen
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Leagreen?
In Leagreen, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can sea air affect extract fan repair in Leagreen?
It can. Leagreen is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Does the extract need to be off for a fan repair?
The fan has to be isolated while we work on it, so the kitchen cannot cook under it. That’s why we work evenings, overnight and at weekends.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every 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 will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere like Leagreen, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
When a fan fails in Leagreen
The coast is only about 1 mile from Leagreen. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Leagreen and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Leagreen, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. 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.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Leagreen, can seize between uses.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.

More services for Leagreen
Do you need extract fan repair in Leagreen?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the price is fixed
