Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bagshot rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

- Fully insured
- A fixed price before any work starts
- In business since 2009

Extract fan repair in Bagshot
Across Bagshot, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. 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 fan motors, belts and pulleys and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a fan rattling in its housing and an old fan that needs replacing.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.

What extract fan repair can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. That’s our job.
Bagshot: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Bagshot?
Food hygiene inspections in Bagshot are carried out by West Berkshire council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Bagshot?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Bagshot is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. You will know more once we have found the fault.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Common problems we fix in Bagshot
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan that keeps cutting out
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like John O'Gaunt School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Before you book anyone
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Bagshot knowing what to expect.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
