How we handle extract fan repair in Bedgrove
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. Typical jobs include a fan worn beyond sensible repair and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, across fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings.
In a place like Bedgrove, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain the options.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Extract fans in Bedgrove
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 91 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 48 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bedgrove. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. About 36 miles out from central London, Bedgrove is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Bedgrove get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Spirit or elsewhere in Bedgrove, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Common questions in Bedgrove
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Bedgrove out of hours?
Bedgrove is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can you come to Bedgrove after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Bedgrove can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bedgrove
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. For a place like Bedgrove, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Common problems we fix in Bedgrove
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan that won’t start at all
For school kitchens, at schools like Bedgrove Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
What to look for in a quote

How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
