What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Extract fan repair in Moorhouse Bank
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an old fan that needs replacing and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, with parking and lifting to arrange in Moorhouse Bank. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
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.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Moorhouse Bank.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Moorhouse Bank: your questions answered
Does London parking affect a job in Moorhouse Bank?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you work at weekends in Moorhouse Bank?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Moorhouse Bank keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How much time does a fan repair need?
A typical repair takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service wherever we can.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What extract fan repair looks like in Moorhouse Bank
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 20 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 takeaways in Moorhouse Bank and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange. In Moorhouse Bank, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew's or elsewhere in Moorhouse Bank, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What affects the quote in Moorhouse Bank

What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted

Common problems we fix in Moorhouse Bank
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
If you manage a school such as Oxted School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
