Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Rookley Green
Kitchens in Rookley Green call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. We’re often asked to deal with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, across fan motors, roof and wall fans and fan housings.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
Leave it or put it right?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. The timing of a visit to Rookley Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Honest limits
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Extract fan repair in Rookley Green: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Rookley Green are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Belts, bearings, motors and impellers are all checked when we look at a fan around Rookley Green.
Rookley Green is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We carry out extract fan repair for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Rookley Green and the rest of the Isle of Wight. Our area takes in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, large and small. We also work in Portsmouth, about 14 miles from Rookley Green.

Common problems we fix in Rookley Green
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Fan failures around Rookley Green don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Rookley Green
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Rookley Green out of hours?
Rookley Green is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who inspects food businesses in Rookley Green?
The local authority for Rookley Green is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair doesn’t make sense.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we will explain why.
