What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Bryant's Bottom run smoothly.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Bryant's Bottom gets to the real cause. In a place like Bryant's Bottom, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Bryant's Bottom: your questions answered
Can the work in Bryant's Bottom be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Bryant's Bottom doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Bryant's Bottom?
Yes, Bryant's Bottom is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Do you need extract fan repair in Bryant's Bottom?
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An extract fan that has stopped working
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Speen Church (Baptist) or elsewhere in Bryant's Bottom, can seize between uses.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
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 at a time that suits your service.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
