About our extract fan repair in Bowsey Hill
Grease and fans don’t mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers roof and wall fans, bearings and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan that keeps cutting out.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Extract fans in Bowsey Hill
Look up Bowsey Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bowsey Hill. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Wokingham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bowsey Hill. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. Bowsey Hill, about 32 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Paul's Mission Church or elsewhere in Bowsey Hill, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you manage a school such as Crazies Hill CofE Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Bowsey Hill: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Bowsey Hill?
Yes, Bowsey Hill is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Bowsey Hill?
Bowsey Hill is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then send you a fixed quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bowsey Hill
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bowsey Hill before we set off.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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.
How to prepare

How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we’ll talk you through it.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Leave it or put it right?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bowsey Hill affects everyone who depends on it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Why Bowsey Hill businesses choose us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We are fully insured
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Photo reports with every job
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. 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 helps prevent overheating.
