A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Planning a trip to Hookwood ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Do you need extract fan repair in Hookwood?
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A dead fan motor
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Hookwood, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What affects the quote in Hookwood
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.

What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a village like Hookwood are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Hookwood: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Hookwood?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hookwood included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Hookwood?
Day or night, a failed fan in Hookwood can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that’s likely to be.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
