When a fan fails in Stoke Row
Stoke Row, about 40 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Stoke Row. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Stoke Row, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Extract fan repair in Stoke Row
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you’re dealing with a whining or grinding extract motor and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right, from bearings, roof and wall fans and fan housings onwards.
A callout to a small place like Stoke Row goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
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, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When to call us in Stoke Row
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that will not start is not always a dead motor.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A dead fan motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Stoke Row Church of England School, rather than mid-term.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of insurance
- When the next visit should be, and why
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Why deal with it now?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Stoke Row gets to the real cause. Somewhere as small as Stoke Row, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What you get with us

Questions from Stoke Row
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Stoke Row?
Extract fan emergencies in Stoke Row are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can you work in Stoke Row outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Stoke Row needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
