Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Newtown
If an extract fan in Newtown is struggling or has stopped, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Common call-outs are for a fan that keeps cutting out and a whining or grinding extract motor, on roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Newtown, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Newtown knowing what to expect.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Common problems we fix in Newtown
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Spirit Church or elsewhere in Newtown, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Never run the extract with filters missing
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. A fault that closes a site in a village like Newtown affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Newtown questions
Which environmental health team covers Newtown?
In Newtown, it’s Isle of Wight council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Does the sea air around Newtown make a difference to extract fan repair?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Newtown gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Do you cover Newtown?
Yes. We work in Newtown and the rest of the Isle of Wight, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
A typical repair takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, including testing. We plan the work around your service wherever we can.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
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.
When a fan fails in Newtown
The coast is only about 1 mile from Newtown. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newtown. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
For kitchens in and around Newtown, our emergency line runs 24/7.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Newtown
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
