Extract fan repair in Bearton, done properly
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we’ll recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you are dealing with an extract fan that has stopped working and a failed fan that needs a replacement, we can put it right, from bearings, fan motors and roof and wall fans onwards.
A callout to a place like Bearton is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so photos of the fan and its rating plate help.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Bearton
Do you work overnight in Bearton?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Bearton can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Bearton within the area you cover?
Yes, Bearton is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

What happens if it’s left?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. A planned visit to Bearton fits your hours; an emergency does not.
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We plan the journey to Bearton and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor is not always to blame.
