Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is, Brook included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. It’s simpler to plan the work at Brook now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Extract fan repair in Brook
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a dead fan motor and a knocking noise from the extract fan.
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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How we price extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere like Brook, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
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, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Brook
Do you cover Brook for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Brook are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Brook?
Food hygiene inspections in Brook are carried out by Isle of Wight council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Extract fan repair in Brook: local notes
The coast is only about 1 mile from Brook. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Brook and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Food hygiene inspections in Brook are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Kitchens in Brook can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

What we work on in Brook
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
When to call us in Brook
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Brook or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan that will not start at all
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Brook, can seize between uses.
