Extract fan repair in Hoo St Werburgh, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. If you have a fan that keeps cutting out and a squealing belt on start-up, we can put it right, from fan motors, bearings and kitchen extract fans onwards.
A callout to a place like Hoo St Werburgh is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so photos of the fan and its rating plate help.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Hoo St Werburgh, so let us know how to reach it.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. 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. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Why act early in Hoo St Werburgh
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. In a smaller place like Hoo St Werburgh, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

- We’re fully insured
- We diagnose before we treat

Hoo St Werburgh questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Hoo St Werburgh?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Hoo St Werburgh is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work overnight in Hoo St Werburgh?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Hoo St Werburgh needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we’ll tell you the reasons.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We will tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
When to call us in Hoo St Werburgh
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
For school kitchens, at schools like Hoo St Werburgh Primary School and Marlborough Centre for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
