Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bowcombe rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why Bowcombe businesses choose us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Extract fan repair in Bowcombe
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers fan motors, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan that won’t start at all.
In a village or hamlet like Bowcombe, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

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 shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When a fan fails in Bowcombe
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Bowcombe and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Bowcombe are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. 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.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St. Nicholas in Castro or elsewhere in Bowcombe, can seize between uses.

Questions from Bowcombe
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bowcombe?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bowcombe. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can the work in Bowcombe be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Bowcombe can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bowcombe.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t 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 get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Bowcombe
In Bowcombe, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A squealing belt on start-up
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Christ The King College or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
