Your questions about extract fan repair in Manwood Green
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Manwood Green at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Manwood Green are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Will you come out to Manwood Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Manwood Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
About our extract fan repair in Manwood Green
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers fan housings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are a motor that trips out or overheats and an old fan that needs replacing.
In a village or hamlet like Manwood Green, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Why act early in Manwood Green
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Managing agents and facilities teams in Manwood Green
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
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.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Manwood Green run smoothly.
- 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.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What else we do in Manwood Green
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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 play a part.

To speed up the quote, send us:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email 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.
