Your questions about extract fan repair in Horsemere Green
Do you cover smaller places like Horsemere Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Horsemere Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Horsemere Green keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Horsemere Green
In Horsemere Green, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Horsemere Green, can seize between uses.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is, Horsemere Green included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Horsemere Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why us?
- Each visit written up, with photos
- In business since 2009
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Horsemere Green.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
