FAQs for Curteis' Corner
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Curteis' Corner?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Curteis' Corner is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Will you come out to Curteis' Corner?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Curteis' Corner is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
What about areas you cannot get to?
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
Extract fan repair in Curteis' Corner, done properly
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you’re dealing with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and poor airflow at the canopy, we can help, from belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Curteis' Corner, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Curteis' Corner
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that won’t start at all
For school kitchens, at schools like John Mayne Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys

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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere like Curteis' Corner, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
