Extractor fan repair in Luccombe Village
Extract fan repair across Luccombe Village and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan shaking on its mountings
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Extract fan repair in Luccombe Village
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Luccombe Village, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. We are often asked to deal with a fan rattling in its housing and a belt-driven fan that squeals, across belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and bearings.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
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 are fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Luccombe Village
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Fan motors
Why deal with it now?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. A planned visit to Luccombe Village is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Why us?
- Trading since 2009
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We are fully insured

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we will talk you through it.
Luccombe Village questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Luccombe Village?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Luccombe Village is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Does the sea air around Luccombe Village make a difference to extract fan repair?
It can. Salt air reaches Luccombe Village, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Luccombe Village can be planned properly.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- 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
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
