How we handle extract fan repair in Blindley Heath
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that rattles or knocks and an extract fan that has stopped working, across fan housings, roof and wall fans and bearings.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
Blindley Heath questions
Do you work overnight in Blindley Heath?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Blindley Heath does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Blindley Heath at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Blindley Heath can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Blindley Heath
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What we are called out for in Blindley Heath
Fans everywhere, Blindley Heath included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
What we are most often called out for:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
Hall kitchens near Church of St John the Evanglist, or anywhere around Blindley Heath, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us.

- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
