Extract fan repair and replacement in Hollington, West Berkshire
For extract fan repair in Hollington, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A humming noise from the fan motor
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hollington
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a worn or slipping fan belt and a humming noise from the fan motor.
For a fan repair in or near Hollington, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hollington.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Questions from Hollington
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hollington?
In Hollington, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you get to a site in Hollington?
Yes. Hollington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When a fan fails in Hollington
At about 57 miles from central London, Hollington sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Hollington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
For school kitchens, at schools like St Thomas' Church of England Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Part by part
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we’ll say so so you know who to call.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Hollington
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Thomas or elsewhere in Hollington, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
