When it’s something else
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we handle extract fan repair in Hodsoll Street
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Common call-outs are for a fan that keeps cutting out and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, on kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Hodsoll Street, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is, Hodsoll Street included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. For a village or hamlet like Hodsoll Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.

Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
