FAQs for Castle Green
Is Castle Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Castle Green out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Castle Green can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. We will give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Extract fan repair in Castle Green, done properly
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. If you are dealing with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a belt-driven fan that squeals, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, fan housings and fan motors onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Castle Green, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Castle Green
Fans everywhere, Castle Green included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A motor that trips out or overheats
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Castle Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we will talk you through it.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
