Extract fan repair in Hunny Hill
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Hunny Hill, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. Typical jobs include a worn or slipping fan belt and an extract fan that has stopped working, on kitchen extract fans, fan motors and fan housings.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Hunny Hill often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Booking now means the visit to Hunny Hill is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Every job surveyed first
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- We are fully insured
Extract fan repair in Hunny Hill: local notes
There are about 61 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 takeaways and sandwich shops across Hunny Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Hunny Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If a fan fails in Hunny Hill at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. In a smaller place like Hunny Hill, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Report new noises from the fan early
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Hunny Hill
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Hunny Hill?
Extract fan emergencies in Hunny Hill are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hunny Hill?
Kitchens in Hunny Hill are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Common problems we fix in Hunny Hill
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A dead fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A worn or slipping fan belt
If you manage a school such as Hunnyhill Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
