What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
About our extract fan repair in Cove
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.
In a smaller place like Cove, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common questions in Cove
Can the work in Cove be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Cove needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover Cove for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in Cove can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
How long will the fan be out of action?
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’ll give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we will tell you the reasons.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Extract fan repair around Cove
Food Standards Agency data counts about 31 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 18 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Cove. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Cove, about 33 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Food hygiene inspections in Cove are the job of Rushmoor council’s environmental health team. 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.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Parsonage Farm Nursery and Infant School, fix a failing fan before term starts. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Cove, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Cove when you book.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Even a site near Cove that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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’ll go through it with you.

Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:

- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

What extract fan repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
