Extract fan repair in Putney Vale, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. If you are dealing with a fan rattling in its housing and a dead fan motor, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and fan housings onwards.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Putney Vale is no exception.
- 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.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
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. Planning ahead in Putney Vale lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Putney Vale questions
What do you need to know about parking in Putney Vale?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Putney Vale out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Putney Vale are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures 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.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise typically 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.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What affects the quote in Putney Vale
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
