Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hook Common
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers fan motors, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a fan that won’t start at all.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hook Common
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

When to call us in Hook Common
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Hook Infant School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we’ll say so and explain what we found.
