About our extract fan repair in Wendover
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we’ll recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you’re dealing with a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can help, from fan housings, fan motors and belts and pulleys onwards.
In a smaller place like Wendover, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

What extract fan repair looks like in Wendover
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Wendover. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. At about 33 miles from central London, Wendover sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wendover. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Wendover, can seize between uses. For a takeaway near Wendover station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
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 are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Tell us when your site near Wendover is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Do you need extract fan repair in Wendover?
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that will not start is not always a dead motor.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A whining or grinding extract motor
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The John Hampden School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Before booking anyone
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Wendover questions
Is Wendover within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wendover is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Wendover after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Wendover can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain why.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
