Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in East Garston
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that is what we’ll recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you have an overheating extract motor and a dead fan motor, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like East Garston, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
East Garston questions
Which council inspects kitchens in East Garston?
That’s West Berkshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in East Garston. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work overnight in East Garston?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in East Garston keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in East Garston
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- 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
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. 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, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to East Garston and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
