We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Boyn Hill.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Boyn Hill
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a belt-driven fan that squeals and an old fan that needs replacing.
In a place like Boyn Hill, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Bearings
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
What affects the quote in Boyn Hill
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Boyn Hill.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

When to call us in Boyn Hill
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that won’t start is not always a dead motor.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that will not start at all
- An overheating extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Larchfield Primary and Nursery School, rather than mid-term.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
Common questions in Boyn Hill
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Boyn Hill at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Boyn Hill can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do you work in villages like Boyn Hill?
Yes, Boyn Hill is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
