Managing agents and facilities teams in Crockham Heath
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Extract fan repair in Crockham Heath, done properly
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are an overheating extract motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
Somewhere as small as Crockham Heath, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why act early in Crockham Heath
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Crockham Heath gets to the real cause. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Crockham Heath rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Crockham Heath questions
Can you work in Crockham Heath outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Crockham Heath?
Yes. Crockham Heath is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Do you need extract fan repair in Crockham Heath?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Enborne C.E. Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Crockham Heath, let us know and we will plan around it.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
