Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Asheridge
Across Asheridge, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a dead fan motor and a fan that keeps cutting out.
For a fan repair in or near Asheridge, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is 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.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Asheridge questions
Which environmental health team covers Asheridge?
Kitchens in Asheridge are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you come to Asheridge after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Asheridge can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then send you a fixed quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Asheridge
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Do you need extract fan repair in Asheridge?
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A humming noise from the fan motor
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Chartridge Combined School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether VAT is included
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Asheridge are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
