About our extract fan repair in Wells-in-the-Field
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Typical jobs include an overheating extract motor and a fan that won’t start at all, across belts and pulleys, fan motors and fan housings.
A callout to a small place like Wells-in-the-Field 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 report is your 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.

FAQs for Wells-in-the-Field
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wells-in-the-Field?
The local authority for Wells-in-the-Field is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work overnight in Wells-in-the-Field?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Wells-in-the-Field can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is 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.
What we’re called out for in Wells-in-the-Field
Fans everywhere, Wells-in-the-Field included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Whitchurch Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
What your quote should include
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a written report and photos are included

- Whether they’re fully insured
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
What affects the quote in Wells-in-the-Field
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Wells-in-the-Field can be planned properly.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wells-in-the-Field
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s simpler to plan the work at Wells-in-the-Field now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

- Every visit written up, with pictures
