Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hartley Wintney
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow at the canopy and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, on kitchen extract fans, bearings and belts and pulleys.
In a place like Hartley Wintney, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we will explain why.
Hartley Wintney questions
Do you cover Hartley Wintney for emergency fan repairs?
Hartley Wintney is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can you work in Hartley Wintney outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Hartley Wintney doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Why deal with it now?
In Hartley Wintney, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a 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 it becomes a nuisance. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

When a fan fails in Hartley Wintney
Look up Hartley Wintney on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hartley Wintney. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Environmental health officers from Hart council inspect food businesses in Hartley Wintney. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority. About 37 miles out from central London, Hartley Wintney is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Greenfields Junior School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

When to call us in Hartley Wintney
Kitchen extract fans in Hartley Wintney face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that keeps cutting out
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St John's Church or elsewhere in Hartley Wintney, can seize between uses.
Before booking anyone
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
