Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Gibraltar
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Gibraltar, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. The work covers fan motors, fan housings and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and a dead fan motor.
For a fan repair in or near Gibraltar, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from Gibraltar
Can the work in Gibraltar be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Gibraltar keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Gibraltar out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Gibraltar is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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 legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Why act early in Gibraltar
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. If the system at a site near Gibraltar fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

The process
The first job on site is protection: 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 for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Gibraltar.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Signs you need extract fan repair in Gibraltar
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A motor that trips out or overheats
If a fan fails in Gibraltar at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

Extract fan repair in Gibraltar: local notes
Look up Gibraltar on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Gibraltar. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Gibraltar, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. Gibraltar is about 40 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Hall kitchens near Church of Saints Peter and Paul, or anywhere around Gibraltar, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
