We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Common call-outs are for a motor that trips out or overheats and poor airflow at the canopy, across kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, which is where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding usually come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we will talk you through it.
West End Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like West End Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in West End Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in West End Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will 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 are fully insured.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What we are called out for in West End Green
In West End Green, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A humming noise from the fan motor
Around West End Green, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
