Questions from Huntercombe
Can you work in Huntercombe outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Huntercombe needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Huntercombe?
That is Slough council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Huntercombe. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Huntercombe
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before we start. Common call-outs are for weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, on belts and pulleys, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a place like Huntercombe is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so photos of the fan and its rating plate help.
A written report with photos follows each visit, 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.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Huntercombe, so let us know how to reach it.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- 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
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Why act early in Huntercombe
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Huntercombe gets to the real cause. Even a site near Huntercombe that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What affects the quote in Huntercombe
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
What we’re called out for in Huntercombe
Kitchen extract fans in Huntercombe face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan rattling in its housing
For school kitchens, at schools like Cippenham Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
