Our extract fan repair service in Bracknell Forest
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Bracknell Forest, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. We are often asked to deal with a whining or grinding extract motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, on belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.

Extract fan repair across Bracknell Forest: local notes
From Bracknell, Sandhurst and Wick Hill to its smaller places, every kitchen in Bracknell Forest relies on a working extract fan. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for when one fails.
Across England, including Bracknell Forest, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Bracknell: If you run a café or takeaway near Bracknell station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Bracknell, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Why it fails
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
In Bracknell Forest, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bracknell Forest
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Bracknell Forest: your questions answered
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair doesn’t make sense.
Do you cover Bracknell Forest?
Yes. We work in Bracknell Forest, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
