Extractor fan repair in Hattingley
Extract fan repair for Hattingley, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How we handle extract fan repair in Hattingley
Kitchens in Hattingley call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. We’re often asked to deal with a fan rattling in its housing and an extract fan that has stopped working, on bearings, belts and pulleys and fan housings.
In a small place like Hattingley, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.

Do you need extract fan repair in Hattingley?
Kitchen extract fans in Hattingley face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An overheating extract motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan shaking on its mountings
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Medstead Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
