Windsor and Maidenhead · Extract fan repair and replacement
Clewer extract fan repair
Need extract fan repair in Clewer? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A whining or grinding extract motor
Part by part
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we will talk you through it.
Extract fan repair in Clewer, done properly
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 kitchen extract fans, bearings and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan that keeps cutting out.
A callout to a place like Clewer is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so photos of the fan and its rating plate help.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Clewer
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A worn or slipping fan belt
Hall kitchens near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere around Clewer, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

Extract fans in Clewer
Food Standards Agency records list about 172 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 sandwich bars and takeaways in Clewer and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Clewer are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. Clewer, about 23 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
For school kitchens, at schools like St Edward's Catholic First School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. For a takeaway near Windsor & Eton Central station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Tell us when your site near Clewer is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
Other services in Clewer
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common questions in Clewer
Will you come out to Clewer?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Clewer is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Clewer for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Clewer is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Most fan jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, including testing. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours wherever we can.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. 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.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Why act early in Clewer
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 visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
