Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.

- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A dead fan motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan shaking on its mountings
If you run a café or takeaway near Liphook station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

Extract fan repair in Liphook
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers fan motors, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow at the canopy and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Liphook often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we will explain the options.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Common questions in Liphook
Which environmental health team covers Liphook?
The local authority for Liphook is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Is Liphook within the area you cover?
Yes, Liphook is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How long will the fan be out of action?
As a guide, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If parts have to be ordered, we’ll tell you how long that’s likely to be.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will arrange a diagnosis.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Extract fans in Liphook
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Liphook. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Liphook are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. About 42 miles out from central London, Liphook is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
For school kitchens, at schools like Bohunt School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church Centre or elsewhere in Liphook, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Liphook
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Noise is typically 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.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and we clear up before we go. For a place like Liphook, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice

Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Even a site near Liphook that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
