Extract fan repair in Aspley Guise
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. Typical jobs include an extract fan that rattles or knocks and an old fan that needs replacing, across kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings.
Somewhere as small as Aspley Guise, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When to call us in Aspley Guise
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Aspley Guise Lower School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Aspley Guise.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Common questions in Aspley Guise
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Aspley Guise out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Aspley Guise is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Aspley Guise?
In Aspley Guise, it’s Central Bedfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
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.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Why act early in Aspley Guise
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
