About our extract fan repair in Brighstone
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you are dealing with a fan that keeps cutting out and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We have 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 carry full insurance.

Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:

- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Brighstone.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Brighstone: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Brighstone?
Kitchens in Brighstone are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Is Brighstone within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
While we’re working on the fan, the extract is isolated. We can come when the kitchen is closed so service carries on as normal.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
How long will the fan be out of action?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We’ll give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?
We run a 24/7 emergency callout for exactly this. We will take the details and get an engineer to you as quickly as possible.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Extract fan repair around Brighstone
Brighstone is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Look up Brighstone on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Brighstone. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Brighstone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Brighstone, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Leave it or put it right?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. A planned visit to Brighstone is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
