Extract fan repair in Wissington, done properly
Across Wissington, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you’re dealing with a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can help, from fan housings, fan motors and bearings onwards.
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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Wissington
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Wissington?
Extract fan emergencies in Wissington are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can the work in Wissington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Wissington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we’ll tell you the reasons.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Wissington
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
For school kitchens, at schools like Nayland Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

- Whether a survey comes first
Part by part
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
