Extractor fan repair in Wiggonholt

Extract fan repair in Wiggonholt, done properly
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. Typical jobs include a fan that won’t start at all and a fan shaking on its mountings, across roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and fan motors.
A callout to a small place like Wiggonholt goes better when we know what we’re looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Wiggonholt
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Questions from Wiggonholt
Can you come to Wiggonholt after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Wiggonholt doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Wiggonholt?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Wiggonholt is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we will talk you through what’s involved.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Typically, a fan repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that’s likely to be.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a village like Wiggonholt are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- 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 hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- 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
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Part by part
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor is not always to blame.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Why deal with it now?
In Wiggonholt, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Wiggonholt rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Common problems we fix in Wiggonholt
In Wiggonholt, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A dead fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Wiggonholt Church, or anywhere in Wiggonholt, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
