How we handle extract fan repair in Hunton
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan motors and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that has stopped working and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts.
In a small place like Hunton, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. If the system at a site near Hunton fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Hunton: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hunton?
In Hunton, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can the work in Hunton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
Is Hunton in your area?
Yes. Hunton is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
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 it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Hunton knowing what to expect.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Signs you need extract fan repair in Hunton
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Hall kitchens near Church of St James, or anywhere around Hunton, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking

- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
