What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. For a village or hamlet like Pearson's Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

About our extract fan repair in Pearson's 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 plain account of what we found. If you are dealing with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can help.
In a small place like Pearson'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’re fully insured.

FAQs for Pearson's Green
Who inspects food businesses in Pearson's Green?
That is Tunbridge Wells council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Pearson's Green. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Pearson's Green out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Pearson's Green can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
How we price extract fan repair

- One-off work versus a regular cycle

- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted

Extract fan repair in Pearson's Green: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pearson's Green. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Pearson's Green. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. At about 32 miles from central London, Pearson's Green sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
For school kitchens, at schools like Mascalls School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself

Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pearson's Green
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. It’s simpler to plan the work at Pearson's Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
See our cost guide and how to check a contractor.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
