Extract fan repair in Upper Clatford
Wherever your kitchen is in Upper Clatford, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. We are often asked to deal with a squealing belt on start-up and an old fan that needs replacing, on fan housings, belts and pulleys and fan motors.
For a fan repair in or near Upper Clatford, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are 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.

Why deal with it now?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Upper Clatford rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Upper Clatford
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
If you manage a school such as Balksbury Junior School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Kitchens in Upper Clatford get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. In a small place like Upper Clatford, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Common questions in Upper Clatford
Will you come out to Upper Clatford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Upper Clatford?
Day or night, a failed fan in Upper Clatford can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
