How extract fan repair works in Slough

Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before work begins. Common call-outs are for a belt-driven fan that squeals and a knocking noise from the extract fan, on fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered.

We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
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.
We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.

Where we work in Slough

Our extract fan repair work across Slough takes in places such as Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell and well beyond. We cover every place we list for Slough, 31 in all, around the clock for emergencies.

Slough is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in Slough.

Slough: If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Herschel Grammar School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. Hall kitchens near St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere around Slough, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Part by part

Impellers and housings

The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.

Fan controls

We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.

What extract fan repair cannot fix

Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself

Why act early?

Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown.

Questions to ask before booking

Whether VAT is included
Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

How we price extract fan repair

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

Any permits to work or inductions
Travel, parking and unloading
Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The condition we find in the survey

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Helping us quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:

Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Problems your staff have spotted
Any previous report or certificate

Need a price for extract fan repair? Please call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.

Keeping the system healthy

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system

Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.

Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

FAQs for Slough

What does TR19 mean?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

Which accreditations do you hold?

Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What happens to the waste?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?

Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before we start.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.

What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?

Noise normally comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.

Do you work in Slough?

Yes. Our technicians work in Slough, within the South East and London area we cover.
