Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Finkley Down
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a whining or grinding extract motor and an extract fan that has stopped working.
A callout to a small place like Finkley Down goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Finkley Down questions
Do you cover Finkley Down for emergency fan repairs?
Finkley Down is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can you get to a site in Finkley Down?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Finkley Down is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
What happens if it’s left?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Somewhere as small as Finkley Down, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Finkley Down, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
