About our extract fan repair in Bedwell
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that won’t start at all and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, across belts and pulleys, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
In a place like Bedwell, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bedwell
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Bedwell
Fans everywhere, Bedwell included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A humming noise from the fan motor
For kitchens close to Stevenage station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

Bedwell questions
Can you come to Bedwell after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Bedwell can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Bedwell at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Bedwell can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
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 accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What a clean will not put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and leave you the report.
