Extract fan repair in Horton-cum-Studley
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. If you have an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a squealing belt on start-up, we can put it right, from fan motors, fan housings and bearings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Report new noises from the fan early
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Leave it or put it right?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What we do, step by step

Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Horton-cum-Studley run smoothly.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Common problems we fix in Horton-cum-Studley
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A humming noise from the fan motor
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere in Horton-cum-Studley, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Horton-cum-Studley
Do you work at weekends in Horton-cum-Studley?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Horton-cum-Studley keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Horton-cum-Studley out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Horton-cum-Studley are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we’ll tell you the reasons.
How long will the fan be out of action?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
