Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Bishop's Green
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. If you have vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a belt-driven fan that squeals, we can help, from belts and pulleys, fan motors and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Bishop's Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Extract fans in Bishop's Green
Bishop's Green is about 52 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bishop's Green. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Bishop's Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Cheam School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Why act early in Bishop's Green
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bishop's Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Bishop's Green can be planned properly.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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 does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Bishop's Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Bishop's Green
Will you come out to Bishop's Green?
Yes, Bishop's Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work overnight in Bishop's Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Bishop's Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do we need to close while you work?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
