Why it’s worth doing now in Roundbush
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. It’s simpler to plan the work at Roundbush now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why Roundbush businesses choose us
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

How we handle extract fan repair in Roundbush
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. Common call-outs are for weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a motor that trips out or overheats, across roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
In a village or hamlet like Roundbush, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Roundbush, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- 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.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
There’s no standard 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, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Your questions about extract fan repair in Roundbush
Do you cover Roundbush for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Roundbush is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Roundbush?
The local authority for Roundbush is Maldon council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we’ll explain the options.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Extract fans in Roundbush
Roundbush lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Roundbush, about 36 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. It’s Maldon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Roundbush. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Roundbush, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Common problems we fix in Roundbush
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A dead fan motor
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Cold Norton Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Before you book anyone
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We’ll tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Fan motors
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
