Extract fan repair in Chesham Bois
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. If you are dealing with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right, from roof and wall fans, bearings and fan housings onwards.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Chesham Bois often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we will explain the options.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Chesham Bois
Do you work at weekends in Chesham Bois?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Chesham Bois at night?
Chesham Bois is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We will give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.

There are about 46 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 takeaways in and around Chesham Bois, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. We cover Chesham Bois, about 25 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Chesham Bois, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you run a kitchen close to Amersham station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. If you manage a school such as Elangeni School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Report new noises from the fan early
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Chesham Bois
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Chesham Bois
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A squealing belt on start-up
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Chesham Bois, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
