Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
How we handle extract fan repair in Bisham
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. We are often asked to deal with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and poor airflow at the canopy, on kitchen extract fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys.
A callout to a small place like Bisham goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

FAQs for Bisham
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Bisham?
Day or night, a failed fan in Bisham can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you come to Bisham after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Bisham needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Typically, a fan repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If parts have to be ordered, we’ll tell you how long that’s likely to be.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.

Advice
Extract fans in Bisham
Look up Bisham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 48 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Bisham. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Bisham. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. At about 30 miles from central London, Bisham sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Bisham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

What else we do in Bisham
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
Why deal with it now?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bisham rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

What we are called out for in Bisham
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Bisham Church of England Academy, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
