About our extract fan repair in Marshborough
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. We’re often asked to deal with an extract fan that has stopped working and a motor that trips out or overheats, on bearings, belts and pulleys and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Marshborough, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Extract fan repair around Marshborough
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops in Marshborough and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Marshborough get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. The timing of a visit to Marshborough is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Marshborough
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that will not start at all
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Marshborough, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Why it’s worth doing now in Marshborough
Wherever the kitchen is, Marshborough included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Every visit written up, with pictures
Questions from Marshborough
Do you work at weekends in Marshborough?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Marshborough out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Marshborough is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
