About our extract fan repair in Brandy Hole
Grease and fans do not 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. We’re often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan that won’t start at all, on fan motors, belts and pulleys and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Brandy Hole, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Somewhere like Brandy Hole, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Questions from Brandy Hole
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Brandy Hole?
Day or night, a failed fan in Brandy Hole can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Will you come out to Brandy Hole?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Brandy Hole included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
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.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Extract fan repair in Brandy Hole: local notes
There are about 24 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 takeaways and sandwich shops in Brandy Hole and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Rochford council inspect food businesses in Brandy Hole. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Brandy Hole, about 32 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Thomas' Church or elsewhere in Brandy Hole, can seize between uses. If you manage a school such as Riverside Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Part by part
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor is not always to blame.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
