Noisy extractor fan

What kind of tradesperson should I call out to fix a noisy extractor fan in the bathroom?

Also, when the extractor fan is switched off, there is a lot of rasping and noise when it is windy. Is this due to a faulty extractor fan or something else?

Electrician, but it may only need the blades cleaning which is a simple diy job once you have isolated the supply

Just by a replacement that is exactly the same, then swap them, save yourself the labour cost of an electrician.
