Extract fan repair in Stapleford Tawney, done properly
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Stapleford Tawney, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. The work covers belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a whining or grinding extract motor.
In a small place like Stapleford Tawney, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How it works

- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.

What else we do in Stapleford Tawney
How we price extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Questions from Stapleford Tawney
Do you work overnight in Stapleford Tawney?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Stapleford Tawney?
Day or night, a failed fan in Stapleford Tawney can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. If the system at a site near Stapleford Tawney fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Every job surveyed first
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Report new noises from the fan early
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Stapleford Tawney
Kitchen extract fans in Stapleford Tawney face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- Poor airflow at the canopy
For kitchens in and around Stapleford Tawney, our emergency line runs 24/7.
