What extract fan repair looks like in Hurley
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Hurley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Hurley get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. About 31 miles out from central London, Hurley is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you manage a school such as Danesfield School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

How we handle extract fan repair in Hurley
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Typical jobs include a knocking noise from the extract fan and a failed fan that needs a replacement, on belts and pulleys, fan housings and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Hurley, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Hurley
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A dead fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hurley, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they’re fully insured
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Kitchen extract fans

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
What staff can safely do
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, alongside our reports.
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.
Questions from Hurley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hurley?
Kitchens in Hurley are inspected by Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Is Hurley within the area you cover?
Yes. Hurley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we will always say when repair makes sense.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, including testing. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours wherever we can.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a village like Hurley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
