Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Wivelrod
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers bearings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
In a village or hamlet like Wivelrod, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Extract fan repair in Wivelrod: local notes
We cover Wivelrod, about 48 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wivelrod. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.

Common questions in Wivelrod
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Wivelrod?
Extract fan emergencies in Wivelrod are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you work at weekends in Wivelrod?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Wivelrod does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
What affects the quote in Wivelrod
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Do you need extract fan repair in Wivelrod?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Around Wivelrod, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether VAT is included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Why it’s worth doing now in Wivelrod

What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

- In business since 2009

What else we do in Wivelrod
Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wivelrod.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote

What extract fan repair cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
