Extract fan repair in Woolage Green, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. If you have an old fan that needs replacing and a fan rattling in its housing, we can put it right.
A callout to a small place like Woolage Green goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Woolage Green
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Woolage Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Woolage Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Woolage Green for emergency fan repairs?
Woolage Green is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. 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 overnight in Woolage Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Woolage Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures 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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens if it’s left?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
