How we handle extract fan repair in Stoke Poges
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. Typical jobs include a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, on bearings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
For a fan repair near Stoke Poges, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, based on what you tell us about the fan.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we’re called out for in Stoke Poges
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as The Stoke Poges School, rather than mid-term.

How we price extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Tell us when your site near Stoke Poges is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- 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.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is, Stoke Poges included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Around Stoke Poges, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Stoke Poges: your questions answered
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Stoke Poges at night?
Stoke Poges is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work in villages like Stoke Poges?
Yes. Stoke Poges is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When a fan fails in Stoke Poges
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Stoke Poges and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
