About our extract fan repair in Wrecclesham
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers fan housings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are an overheating extract motor and a worn or slipping fan belt.
In a smaller place like Wrecclesham, 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, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A site near Wrecclesham usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Wrecclesham and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Leave it or put it right?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. When a site near Wrecclesham shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor isn’t always to blame.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we’ll explain why.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Wrecclesham
Do you work in villages like Wrecclesham?
Yes, Wrecclesham is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you cover Wrecclesham for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Wrecclesham is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we will talk you through what’s involved.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
When a fan fails in Wrecclesham
Food Standards Agency records list about 32 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways in Wrecclesham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wrecclesham. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. About 38 miles out from central London, Wrecclesham is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Peter's CofE Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Wrecclesham, can seize between uses.
