When a fan fails in Ventnor
The coast is only about 1 mile from Ventnor. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Look up Ventnor on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 27 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Ventnor. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. In Ventnor, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
For school kitchens, at schools like St Catherine's School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Extract fan repair in Ventnor, done properly
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. The work covers fan housings, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a fan that won’t start at all and an old fan that needs replacing.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Ventnor often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we’ll explain the options.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Ventnor
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Ventnor
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Ventnor.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Ventnor: your questions answered
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Ventnor at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Ventnor are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can you get to a site in Ventnor?
Yes. Ventnor is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan normally means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ventnor
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted

What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Do you need extract fan repair in Ventnor?
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A dead fan motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Hall kitchens near St Catherine's Church, or anywhere around Ventnor, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

- How VAT is shown on the quote
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
