About our extract fan repair in Berners Roding
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers bearings, fan housings and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a whining or grinding extract motor.
Somewhere as small as Berners Roding, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we will explain why.
Common questions in Berners Roding
Do you cover smaller places like Berners Roding?
Yes, Berners Roding is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Berners Roding be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Why it’s worth doing now in Berners Roding
Wherever the kitchen is, Berners Roding included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Berners Roding rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
