About our extract fan repair in Shobley
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Shobley, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Common call-outs are for an overheating extract motor and poor airflow at the canopy, on fan housings, fan motors and bearings.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Extract fans in Shobley
Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Shobley. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
For school kitchens, at schools like Poulner Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Shobley
Which council inspects kitchens in Shobley?
The local authority for Shobley is New Forest 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.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Shobley?
Shobley is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
When to call us in Shobley
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan that won’t start at all
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Shobley, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Shobley
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Shobley, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
