Extract fan repair in Ashendon, done properly
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you have an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a whining or grinding extract motor, we can help.
A callout to a small place like Ashendon goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Report new noises from the fan early
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
What happens if it’s left?
In Ashendon, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. In a small place like Ashendon, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What a clean won’t put right
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere as small as Ashendon, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Ashendon questions
Can you come to Ashendon after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ashendon?
Food hygiene inspections in Ashendon are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
