Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Ashmansworth
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we’ll recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings, and people most often call us about poor airflow at the canopy and a fan shaking on its mountings.
In a small place like Ashmansworth, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common problems we fix in Ashmansworth
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Around Ashmansworth, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
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, so we ask about it early.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere like Ashmansworth, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Questions from Ashmansworth
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Ashmansworth?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Ashmansworth is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you work in villages like Ashmansworth?
Yes. Ashmansworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.

Leave it or put it right?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ashmansworth affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
