Isle of Wight · Extract fan repair and replacement
Chillerton extract fan repair
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Chillerton. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
Part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Extract fan repair in Chillerton
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we will recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Common call-outs are for a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a knocking noise from the extract fan, on belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans.
Somewhere as small as Chillerton, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Chillerton
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business

- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Never run the extract with filters missing
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
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.
Chillerton: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Chillerton?
Kitchens in Chillerton are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Chillerton?
Chillerton is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Extract fan repair in Chillerton: local notes
In Chillerton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Hall kitchens near St. Olave's Church, or anywhere around Chillerton, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Chillerton is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Chillerton, extract fan repair is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. Chillerton is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we work for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page, about 15 miles away.
We cover every part of the PO30 postcode area for extract fan repair and the roads nearby.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Why act early in Chillerton
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 is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Planning a trip to Chillerton ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Chillerton can be planned properly.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
