About our extract fan repair in Worting
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Worting, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. We are often asked to deal with a worn or slipping fan belt and a fan that won’t start at all, across bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
In a smaller place like Worting, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Why act early in Worting
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Around Worting, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Worting
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Worting?
The local authority for Worting is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you work in villages like Worting?
Yes, Worting is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we’ll explain the options.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain why.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
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.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. We plan the journey to Worting and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- 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.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

When to call us in Worting
Fans everywhere, Worting included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that won’t start at all
Hall kitchens near Church of St Thomas A Becket, or anywhere around Worting, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
When a fan fails in Worting
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 33 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 16 takeaways and sandwich shops across Worting and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Worting. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. At about 48 miles from central London, Worting sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
For school kitchens, at schools like Chiltern Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
