How we handle extract fan repair in Firgo
Kitchens in Firgo call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mountings and a belt-driven fan that squeals, across fan motors, bearings and roof and wall fans.
Somewhere as small as Firgo, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Part by part
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.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

When a fan fails in Firgo
At about 58 miles from central London, Firgo sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Firgo, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary, or anywhere around Firgo, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Common problems we fix in Firgo
Kitchen extract fans in Firgo face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
What we are most often called out for:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A dead fan motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Testbourne Community School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they recommend a next date
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and we clear up before we go. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Firgo knowing what to expect.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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 the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Common questions in Firgo
Can the work in Firgo be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Firgo?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Firgo included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
