Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Holmer Green

If you have a fan that keeps cutting out and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can put it right.
For a fan repair near Holmer Green, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Holmer Green when you book.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- 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 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
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Holmer Green
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common questions in Holmer Green
Can you come to Holmer Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Holmer Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Holmer Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
When something else is needed
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
