Extract fan repair in Jealott's Hill, done properly

Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a dead fan motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork.

A callout to a small place like Jealott's Hill goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
  • Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
  • Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
  • Keep all filters fitted while cooking

If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.

Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Jealott's Hill

Do you cover smaller places like Jealott's Hill?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Can the work in Jealott's Hill be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Jealott's Hill does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.

Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?

We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we’ll explain the options.

What’s TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

How much notice do you need?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?

A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.

How long does an extract fan repair take?

Typically, a fan repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that is likely to be.

What staff can safely do

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

When something else is needed

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
  • Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
  • Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Jealott's Hill

In Jealott's Hill, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. With notice, the visit to Jealott's Hill can be fitted around your bookings and events.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Why book with us

  • In business since 2009
  • Each visit written up, with pictures

What happens on the day

The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Jealott's Hill knowing what to expect.

  1. We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
  2. We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
  3. Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
  4. We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
  5. The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Ask for a quote

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

How the job changes from site to site

Impellers and housings

The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.

Belt-driven fans

A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.

Extract fans in Jealott's Hill

It’s Bracknell Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Jealott's Hill. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. At about 28 miles from central London, Jealott's Hill sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
