Extract fan repair in Boyatt Wood, done properly
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Typical jobs include an extract fan that rattles or knocks and an extract fan that has stopped working, across kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan housings.
A callout to a place like Boyatt Wood is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Boyatt Wood than wait for a failure.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Boyatt Wood
Fans everywhere, Boyatt Wood included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
For school kitchens, at schools like Crestwood Community School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
