About our extract fan repair in Ivychurch
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Typical jobs include a humming noise from the fan motor and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, across kitchen extract fans, fan motors and fan housings.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Ivychurch and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Common problems we fix in Ivychurch
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.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An old fan that needs replacing
Fan failures around Ivychurch don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What insurance they carry
- What paperwork you get at the end
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
FAQs for Ivychurch
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Ivychurch at night?
Ivychurch is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you get to a site in Ivychurch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we will always say when repair makes sense.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
