- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Elmtree Infant and Nursery School, rather than mid-term.

About our extract fan repair in Chesham
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, 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. Common call-outs are for a fan that keeps cutting out and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, on kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
For a pub, café or takeaway in a town like Chesham, no extract fan means no cooking. That’s why our emergency line runs 24/7.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that will not start isn’t always a failed motor.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chesham
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. A small fault found now is a quick job; the same fault found later can close the site.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Common questions in Chesham
Which environmental health team covers Chesham?
In Chesham, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you work overnight in Chesham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Chesham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
Do you cover Chesham?
Yes. Our technicians work in Chesham, as part of our area across London and the South East.

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
