Advice
How we handle extract fan repair in East Ilsley
Kitchens in East Ilsley call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and bearings, and common reasons people get in touch are an overheating extract motor and a fan that won’t start at all.
In a small place like East Ilsley, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why act early in East Ilsley
Wherever the kitchen is, East Ilsley included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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’ll explain each part.

East Ilsley: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like East Ilsley?
Yes, East Ilsley is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in East Ilsley?
The local authority for East Ilsley is West Berkshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?
We provide a 24/7 emergency callout. Cooking without working extraction isn’t sensible, and we’ll aim to get it going again.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Clean or change filters on schedule
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
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
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
