Questions from Shirrell Heath
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Shirrell Heath out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Shirrell Heath can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you work in Shirrell Heath outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we’ll explain the options.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
About our extract fan repair in Shirrell Heath
If an extract fan in Shirrell Heath is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. We are often asked to deal with a fan that won’t start at all and a belt-driven fan that squeals, across fan motors, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like Shirrell Heath are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Extract fans in Shirrell Heath
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Shirrell Heath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Shirrell Heath, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City 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.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John or elsewhere in Shirrell Heath, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- An extract system that was undersized from the start

Why it’s worth doing now in Shirrell Heath
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
