About our extract fan repair in Blackboys
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and bearings, and people most often call us about an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.
For a fan repair in or near Blackboys, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Never run the extract with filters missing
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Questions from Blackboys
Can you get to a site in Blackboys?
Yes. Blackboys is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you cover Blackboys for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in Blackboys can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Blackboys can be planned properly.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
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. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
