How we handle extract fan repair in Sherborne St John
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. We are often asked to deal with a worn or slipping fan belt and a fan that keeps cutting out, across roof and wall fans, fan motors and belts and pulleys.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Sherborne St John
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Sherborne St John Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Sherborne St John.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.

Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Sherborne St John rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
