Extract fan repair and replacement in East Burnham, Slough
Extract fan repair in East Burnham from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Report new noises from the fan early
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
About our extract fan repair in East Burnham
Wherever your kitchen is in East Burnham, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Common call-outs are for a humming noise from the fan motor and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, across bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
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.

FAQs for East Burnham
Can you come to East Burnham after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in East Burnham needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in East Burnham?
Extract fan emergencies in East Burnham are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Which accreditations do you hold?

Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long will the fan be out of action?
As a guide, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that’s likely to be.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
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.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like East Burnham.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What affects the quote in East Burnham
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
