Questions from Touchen-end
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Touchen-end at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Touchen-end is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you work at weekends in Touchen-end?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Touchen-end
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you’re dealing with a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan that keeps cutting out, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Do you need extract fan repair in Touchen-end?

- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that won’t start at all
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
If a fan fails in Touchen-end at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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 is where we come in.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.

Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Touchen-end
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
