- A fan rattling in its housing
- An overheating extract motor
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
About our extract fan repair in Lovedean
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. If you’re dealing with a dead fan motor and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can put it right, from belts and pulleys, fan housings and kitchen extract fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Lovedean, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

When it’s something else
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Lovedean and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it 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 Lovedean.
- 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
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Lovedean: your questions answered
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Lovedean at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Lovedean are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you come to Lovedean after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Lovedean doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. In a place like Lovedean, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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 we start.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Lovedean
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Each visit written up, with photos
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
