For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How we handle extract fan repair in Wolverton
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. We’re often asked to deal with a dead fan motor and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, on kitchen extract fans, fan housings and fan motors.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are 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.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Wolverton.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Common problems we fix in Wolverton
Fans everywhere, Wolverton included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A dead fan motor
If a fan fails in Wolverton at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Wolverton
Which environmental health team covers Wolverton?
That is Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wolverton. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Wolverton?
Extract fan emergencies in Wolverton are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Most fan jobs take a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
