Extract fan repair in Borden

Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Borden, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a belt-driven fan that squeals and an extract fan that has stopped working.

Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?

It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Borden gets to the real cause. Somewhere as small as Borden, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

How the job changes from site to site

Impellers and housings

Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.

Roof and wall-mounted fans

An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.

What your team can do, and what needs us

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Borden

Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.

What we are most often called out for:

  • Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
  • A fan rattling in its housing
  • An overheating extract motor
  • A fan worn beyond sensible repair

For kitchens in and around Borden, our emergency line runs 24/7.

Before you book anyone

  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • What insurance they carry

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Between visits

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Note when the fan trips or cuts out
  • Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
  • Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
  • Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed

If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.

A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Borden

Can you come to Borden after we close?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Borden keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Which environmental health team covers Borden?

Kitchens in Borden are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.

Will I get paperwork for my records?

Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.

Which records should we keep?

Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.

What about areas you cannot get to?

They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

What do you do to protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

Do you work in Borden?

Yes. We work in Borden and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Who is the responsible person?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.

How the visit works

Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Borden and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
  2. Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
  3. The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
  4. We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
  5. The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Clear the space around the work
