Extract fan repair in Horsleys Green, done properly
Working on a fan in Horsleys Green means switching the extract off first, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Typical jobs include an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a squealing belt on start-up, on bearings, fan motors and roof and wall fans.
A callout to a small place like Horsleys Green goes better when we know what we’re looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

FAQs for Horsleys Green
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Horsleys Green out of hours?
Horsleys Green is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you work at weekends in Horsleys Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Horsleys Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Common problems we fix in Horsleys Green
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green, rather than mid-term.

What we do, step by step

The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere like Horsleys Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- 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
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Fan housings
Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we’ll explain why.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
What happens if it’s left?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Horsleys Green gets to the real cause. In a small place like Horsleys Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
