When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair

Extract fan repair in Boxford
If an extract fan in Boxford is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a humming noise from the fan motor and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Extract fans in Boxford
Kitchens in Boxford get their food hygiene inspections from West Berkshire council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Boxford is about 56 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If a fan fails in Boxford at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Boxford, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

- 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.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Boxford: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Boxford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Boxford included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Boxford at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Boxford are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
