Extract fan repair in Coombe, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and a failed fan that needs a replacement, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Coombe, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Every 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. A fault that closes a site in a village like Coombe affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

What extract fan repair can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys

Signs you need extract fan repair in Coombe
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Coombe, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Coombe questions
Do you cover smaller places like Coombe?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Coombe is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you cover Coombe for emergency fan repairs?
Coombe is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much time does a fan repair need?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We’ll give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere like Coombe, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

What affects the quote in Coombe
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
