Wherwell extract fan repair
Professional extract fan repair in and around Wherwell, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A dead fan motor
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Extract fan repair in Wherwell
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you are dealing with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a failed fan that needs a replacement, we can help, from fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Wherwell gets to the real cause. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
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.
Common questions in Wherwell
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Wherwell at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Wherwell is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you work at weekends in Wherwell?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Wherwell keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
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 will tell you the reasons.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Extract fan repair around Wherwell
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wherwell. 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.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and Holy Cross, or anywhere in Wherwell, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. If you manage a school such as Wherwell Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Wherwell knowing what to expect.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
