Why it’s worth doing now in Aldershot
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. If an inspection, an insurer’s survey or a fire risk assessment is coming up in Aldershot, having the work done and recorded first helps.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.

How we handle extract fan repair in Aldershot
Wherever your kitchen is in Aldershot, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you are dealing with a whining or grinding extract motor and an overheating extract motor, we can put it right.
Many fans around a town like Aldershot sit on a flat roof or an outside wall, where they take the weather as well as the grease. In time, belts, bearings and motors wear.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens on the day
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. In a town like Aldershot, we normally work after closing or on a quiet day, so the site opens again on time.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Extract fans in Aldershot
Food Standards Agency data counts about 80 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 33 takeaways in and around Aldershot, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Aldershot, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rushmoor council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. Aldershot, about 34 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Hall kitchens near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere around Aldershot, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. If you manage a school such as Talavera Junior School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What else we do in Aldershot
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we’ll explain why.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
How we price extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Aldershot
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A whining or grinding extract motor
If you cook near Aldershot station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.

Common questions in Aldershot
Do you work overnight in Aldershot?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Aldershot?
In Aldershot, it’s Rushmoor council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How much time does a fan repair need?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. You will know more once we’ve found the fault.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
