Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Ashampstead Green
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a fan that keeps cutting out and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
Somewhere as small as Ashampstead Green, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Ashampstead Green
Do you cover Ashampstead Green for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Ashampstead Green are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can the work in Ashampstead Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Ashampstead Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Most fan jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, including testing. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours wherever we can.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
When a fan fails in Ashampstead Green
In Ashampstead Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Berkshire council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. Ashampstead Green, about 47 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

What we’re called out for in Ashampstead Green
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A squealing belt on start-up
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Clement, or anywhere in Ashampstead Green, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there.

- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.

What affects the quote in Ashampstead Green
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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 work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
Leave it or put it right?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Somewhere as small as Ashampstead Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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 drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
