Managing agents and facilities teams in Dunsbury
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Extract fan repair in Dunsbury
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you have a fan that keeps cutting out and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right, from roof and wall fans, fan housings and bearings onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Dunsbury, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We’ll tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Do you need extract fan repair in Dunsbury?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
For kitchens in and around Dunsbury, our emergency line runs 24/7.

Extract fans in Dunsbury
Dunsbury lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. Kitchens in Dunsbury get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Dunsbury, can seize between uses.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Visits to a village like Dunsbury are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys

Dunsbury: your questions answered
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Dunsbury out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Dunsbury is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can the work in Dunsbury be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
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.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What about areas you cannot get to?
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.
