Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Newbury's
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. The work covers bearings, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a fan rattling in its housing and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
A callout to a small place like Newbury's goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We have been trading since 2009, and 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.

Why deal with it now?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We diagnose before we treat
- Photo reports with every job

What affects the quote in Newbury's
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work

- What state the system is in
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

How it works

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
Managing agents and facilities teams in Newbury's
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.

What else we do in Newbury's
Do you need extract fan repair in Newbury's?
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A dead fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
If you manage a school such as Uplands Community College and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Common questions in Newbury's
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Newbury's?
That is Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Newbury's. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you get to a site in Newbury's?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Newbury's is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the extract need to be off for a fan repair?
We isolate the fan for safety. We plan the visit around your hours to avoid losing a service.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we will tell you the reasons.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
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 any work starts.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
