What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How we handle extract fan repair in Burghfield Hill
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you’re dealing with a motor that trips out or overheats and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can put it right.
A callout to a place like Burghfield Hill is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Burghfield Hill

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 on a regular cycle.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Burghfield Hill, so let us know how to reach it.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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 work begins.

What else we do in Burghfield Hill
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need extract fan repair in Burghfield Hill, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
When something else is needed
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Burghfield Hill
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Burghfield Hill?
Burghfield Hill is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can you work in Burghfield Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Burghfield Hill needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Common problems we fix in Burghfield Hill
Fans everywhere, Burghfield Hill included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An overheating extract motor
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Burghfield Hill, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
