How we handle extract fan repair in Hampstead Norreys
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Hampstead Norreys, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan housings and bearings, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a squealing belt on start-up.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hampstead Norreys
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
FAQs for Hampstead Norreys
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hampstead Norreys?
In Hampstead Norreys, it’s West Berkshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Hampstead Norreys out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Hampstead Norreys are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Most fan jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, including testing. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours wherever we can.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bearings
- Fan housings

Common problems we fix in Hampstead Norreys
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An overheating extract motor
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Hampstead Norreys C.E. Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

How the visit works
We turn up 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 floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. The timing of a visit to Hampstead Norreys is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
