Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
About our extract fan repair in Dorney Reach
Wherever your kitchen is in Dorney Reach, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you have an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan rattling in its housing, we can put it right, from fan motors, kitchen extract fans and fan housings onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Dorney Reach, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Dorney Reach: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Dorney Reach?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Dorney Reach after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Dorney Reach can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere like Dorney Reach, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work

- Fan motors

Why it’s worth doing now in Dorney Reach
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Dorney Reach is calmer for everyone.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- We diagnose before we treat
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
Signs you need extract fan repair in Dorney Reach
In Dorney Reach, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
What we are most often called out for:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Dorney Reach, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a survey comes first
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
