Extract fan repair in Streatley
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we’ll recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers fan housings, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that rattles or knocks and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts.
For a fan repair in or near Streatley, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Questions from Streatley
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Streatley?
In Streatley, it’s West Berkshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work overnight in Streatley?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Streatley needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Common problems we fix in Streatley
Fans everywhere, Streatley included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A dead fan motor
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Streatley, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

In a small place like Streatley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

Why act early in Streatley
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. It’s simpler to plan the work at Streatley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong 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.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
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 wear is caught earlier.

What else we do in Streatley
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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 pictures, so each one has its own record.
Extract fan repair around Streatley
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Streatley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. At about 45 miles from central London, Streatley sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Streatley get their food hygiene inspections from West Berkshire council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Streatley C.E. Voluntary Controlled School, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you cook near Goring & Streatley station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.
