Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Tinkers Cross
Working on a fan in Tinkers Cross means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you are dealing with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Tinkers Cross, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Tinkers Cross: your questions answered
Can the work in Tinkers Cross be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Tinkers Cross needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tinkers Cross?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tinkers Cross. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tinkers Cross
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Somewhere as small as Tinkers Cross, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Tinkers Cross
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When to call us in Tinkers Cross
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that won’t start isn’t always a dead motor.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
Kitchens in Tinkers Cross can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Tinkers Cross.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
When a fan fails in Tinkers Cross
Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tinkers Cross. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Tinkers Cross, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. 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 run a school kitchen, at a school such as Fordingbridge Junior School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
