Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Ningwood

Kitchens in Ningwood call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a humming noise from the fan motor and a squealing belt on start-up.

Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Ningwood

A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Why book with us

  • In business since 2009
  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • We diagnose before we treat
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations and certificates.

What happens on the day

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Ningwood, let us know and we’ll plan around it.

  1. A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
  2. We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
  3. Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
  4. We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
  5. We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use

How to get a quote

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Extract fan repair around Ningwood

Ningwood is within about 2 miles of the coast. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Ningwood. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.

School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. Hall kitchens near Church of St. Michael the Archangel, or anywhere around Ningwood, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Ningwood is about 6 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Ningwood gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Ningwood is one of 125 towns, villages and districts in the Isle of Wight where we work for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 16 miles away.

Here we cover the PO41 postcode area for extract fan repair. If your site is just outside Ningwood, we cover Newbridge (1 mile south-east), Wellow (1 mile west), Thorley Street (1 mile west), Shalcombe (2 miles south) and Calbourne (2 miles south-east).

If your site is somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed, so let us know when you get in touch.

Between visits

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
  • Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
  • Report new noises from the fan early
  • Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise

Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.

A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.

What affects the quote in Ningwood

Your quote is based on your site. We consider:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Helping us quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ningwood

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What a clean will not put right

We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
  • Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
  • Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Ningwood is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.

What is TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

What will a fan repair or replacement cost?

The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.

Who is the responsible person?

It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.

Which accreditations do you hold?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.

What do you do to protect the area?

By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
