About our extract fan repair in Linwood
Across Linwood, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. We’re often asked to deal with a fan rattling in its housing and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, across fan motors, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a small place like Linwood goes better when we know what we are looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

FAQs for Linwood
Can you get to a site in Linwood?
Yes. Linwood is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Linwood?
In Linwood, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
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’re fully insured.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Who do we call if the fan stops in the middle of cooking?
You can reach our emergency line day or night. Cooking without working extraction is not sensible, and we’ll aim to get it going again.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Linwood.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Linwood
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Linwood gets to the real cause. It’s simpler to plan the work at Linwood now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
