Common questions in Fair Oak
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Fair Oak out of hours?
Fair Oak is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you work in Fair Oak outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Fair Oak can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Most fan jobs take part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered including running the fan afterwards. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours wherever we can.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Extract fan repair in Fair Oak
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that’s what we’ll recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you have a squealing belt on start-up and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, we can put it right, from fan housings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans onwards.
In a smaller place like Fair Oak, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Your opening hours decide when we come to Fair Oak, not ours.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Fair Oak
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A dead fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Saint Thomas or elsewhere in Fair Oak, can seize between uses.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
What affects the quote in Fair Oak
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
