About our extract fan repair in Keeper's Corner
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that’s what we will recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you have a worn or slipping fan belt and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Keeper's Corner, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from Keeper's Corner
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Keeper's Corner?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Keeper's Corner is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can the work in Keeper's Corner be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Keeper's Corner keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we will talk you through what’s involved.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Keeper's Corner
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
Part by part
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.

Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. It’s simpler to plan the work at Keeper's Corner now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
