Common problems we fix in Dyer's End
Fans everywhere, Dyer's End included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Peter and St Thomas or elsewhere in Dyer's End, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part

Dyer's End: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Dyer's End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Dyer's End?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Dyer's End keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dyer's End
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s simpler to plan the work at Dyer's End now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that is what we find and explain what we found.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
