Part by part
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
About our extract fan repair in Ashmore Green
Kitchens in Ashmore Green call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you are dealing with a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, we can help, from bearings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans onwards.
In a small place like Ashmore Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Ashmore Green can be planned properly.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system

Why act early in Ashmore Green
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Planning a trip to Ashmore Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

- In business since 2009
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Ashmore Green
Which environmental health team covers Ashmore Green?
Kitchens in Ashmore Green are inspected by West Berkshire council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Ashmore Green at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Ashmore Green is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When to call us in Ashmore Green
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.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A whining or grinding extract motor
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Cold Ash St Mark's C.E. School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
