Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer

- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking

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 hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When to call us in Baythorne End
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that won’t start is not always a dead motor.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan that keeps cutting out
For school kitchens, at schools like Stoke College for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.

We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote

- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Questions from Baythorne End
Will you come out to Baythorne End?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Baythorne End is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you cover Baythorne End for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Baythorne End are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. 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.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
