Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Woolmer
Across Woolmer, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers fan motors, bearings and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan that has stopped working and a whining or grinding extract motor.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere like Woolmer, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Woolmer rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Common questions in Woolmer
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Woolmer?
Food hygiene inspections in Woolmer are carried out by East Hampshire council. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you work in Woolmer outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Woolmer can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you work in Woolmer?
Yes. Our technicians work in Woolmer, within the South East and London area we cover.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are 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.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
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’ll tell you the reasons.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Do you need extract fan repair in Woolmer?
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Matthew's Church or elsewhere in Woolmer, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What else we do in Woolmer
How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
