About our extract fan repair in Weston
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers bearings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.
A callout to a small place like Weston goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Weston
Wherever the kitchen is, Weston included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. In a small place like Weston, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Weston
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 is not always a dead motor.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A dead fan motor
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Fan failures around Weston do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common questions in Weston
Which council inspects kitchens in Weston?
The local authority for Weston is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Weston out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Weston can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Somewhere like Weston, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
