How we handle extract fan repair in Hungerford
If an extract fan in Hungerford is struggling or has stopped, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mountings and a knocking noise from the extract fan, across roof and wall fans, bearings and fan motors.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hungerford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- 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.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system

Extract fan repair in Hungerford: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hungerford. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. At about 31 miles from central London, Hungerford sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Hungerford. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
For kitchens in and around Hungerford, our emergency line runs 24/7.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Hungerford questions
Do you work at weekends in Hungerford?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Hungerford at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Hungerford can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then give you a fixed quote.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we’ll talk you through it.
Common problems we fix in Hungerford
Kitchen extract fans in Hungerford face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A dead fan motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Waltham St Lawrence Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
