Your questions about extract fan repair in Radnage
Do you work in villages like Radnage?
Yes. Radnage is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Radnage be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we’ll tell you the reasons.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
Extract fan repair in Radnage
Wherever your kitchen is in Radnage, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mountings and an extract fan that has stopped working, on belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan motors.
In a small place like Radnage, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Advice
Extract fans in Radnage
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Radnage and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Radnage. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. At about 35 miles from central London, Radnage sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Radnage, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Radnage is about 6 miles north-west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire.

What we are called out for in Radnage
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Radnage Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

When something else is needed
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What else we do in Radnage
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Radnage
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Why deal with it now?
In Radnage, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- Photo reports with every job
