- A fan that will not start at all
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Never run the extract with filters missing
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 wear is caught earlier.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Bourne End

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bourne End and across Hertfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What happens if it’s left?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. Planning a trip to Bourne End ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Bourne End
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Bourne End or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Pixies Hill Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Bourne End questions
Do you work overnight in Bourne End?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Bourne End?
Food hygiene inspections in Bourne End are carried out by Dacorum council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Is Bourne End in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Bourne End.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
