Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor is not always to blame.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hungerford
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Typical jobs include a worn or slipping fan belt and an extract fan that has stopped working, on roof and wall fans, bearings and fan motors.
In a smaller place like Hungerford, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. That is what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hungerford
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. When a site near Hungerford shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Hungerford
In Hungerford, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
What we are most often called out for:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An overheating extract motor
If you cook near Hungerford station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Hungerford, so let us know how to reach it.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- 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.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Look up Hungerford on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 11 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hungerford. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Hungerford.
