Extract fan repair in Norton Green, done properly
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before work begins. Typical jobs include a belt-driven fan that squeals and a humming noise from the fan motor, on fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings.
In a small place like Norton Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and leave you the report.

- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.

Part by part
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We’ll tell you if that is what we find and explain what we found.

Why deal with it now?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Norton Green is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Extract fans in Norton Green
At about 1 mile from the coast, Norton Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Food Standards Agency records list about 21 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Norton Green. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Norton Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Norton Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like All Saints Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Common questions in Norton Green
