If you have a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can put it right.

Why deal with it now?
In Brown Candover, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. If the system at a site near Brown Candover fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
What affects the quote in Brown Candover
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Brown Candover: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Brown Candover?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Brown Candover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Brown Candover is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors

What we are called out for in Brown Candover
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Fan failures around Brown Candover don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What records you’ll receive afterwards

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You will hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
