Part by part
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
How we handle extract fan repair in Iping
Working on a fan in Iping 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. The work covers bearings, fan motors and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a squealing belt on start-up and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
Somewhere as small as Iping, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Iping: your questions answered
Can you work in Iping outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Iping does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Which environmental health team covers Iping?
Food hygiene inspections in Iping are carried out by Chichester council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much notice should we give?
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.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Iping
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.

What else we do in Iping
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why deal with it now?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. In a place like Iping, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
