Extract fan repair in Emmbrook
If an extract fan in Emmbrook is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you have a knocking noise from the extract fan and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can put it right.
Around a place like Emmbrook, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan cannot carry on cooking as normal. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a place like Emmbrook, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
Want a quote for extract fan repair? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Emmbrook: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Emmbrook?
That is Wokingham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Emmbrook. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you come to Emmbrook after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.

For school kitchens, at schools like Emmbrook Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a kitchen close to Wokingham station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Emmbrook
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A humming noise from the fan motor
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Woosehill Community Church or elsewhere in Emmbrook, can seize between uses.
