Extract fan repair in Loyter's Green, done properly
Working on a fan in Loyter's Green means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. If you’re dealing with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a fan rattling in its housing, we can put it right, from belts and pulleys, fan motors and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Loyter's Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We’ve 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 are fully insured.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Loyter's Green.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
FAQs for Loyter's Green
Can you work in Loyter's Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Loyter's Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Loyter's Green?
Extract fan emergencies in Loyter's Green are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is 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.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. In a small place like Loyter's Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
