Burnham Green questions
Will you come out to Burnham Green?
Yes. Burnham Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Burnham Green?
The local authority for Burnham Green is East Hertfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Who do we call if the fan stops in the middle of cooking?
We provide a 24/7 emergency callout. Cooking without working extraction isn’t sensible, and we’ll aim to get it going again.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
How we handle extract fan repair in Burnham Green
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. We are often asked to deal with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, across belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan housings.
In a small place like Burnham Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When to call us in Burnham Green
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you manage a school such as Monk's Walk School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
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.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.

How we price extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Burnham Green.

Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is, Burnham Green included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. It’s simpler to plan the work at Burnham Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
