Extract fan repair in Hanworth, done properly
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. We’re often asked to deal with a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan shaking on its mountings, across fan motors, roof and wall fans and bearings.
In a place like Hanworth, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we’re called out for in Hanworth
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church or elsewhere in Hanworth, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Before booking anyone
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Everything the job in Hanworth needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hanworth
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Bracknell Forest. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. When a site near Hanworth shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

When a fan fails in Hanworth
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 30 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 15 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Hanworth, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Hanworth is about 30 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. It’s Bracknell Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hanworth. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you manage a school such as The Pines School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Hanworth questions
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Hanworth at night?
Hanworth is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can you work in Hanworth outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Hanworth can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Most fan jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
