How we handle extract fan repair in Hog Hatch
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you have a humming noise from the fan motor and an overheating extract motor, we can help, from fan housings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans onwards.
A callout to a place like Hog Hatch is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hog Hatch
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Hog Hatch than wait for a failure.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
How we price extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email 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 typically come back within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding usually come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
FAQs for Hog Hatch
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Hog Hatch?
Day or night, a failed fan in Hog Hatch can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you work at weekends in Hog Hatch?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Hog Hatch needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We’ll give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and we clear up before we go. A site near Hog Hatch usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
