Questions from Kingston Lisle
Who inspects food businesses in Kingston Lisle?
Kitchens in Kingston Lisle are inspected by Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you cover smaller places like Kingston Lisle?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Kingston Lisle is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we will talk you through what’s involved.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Kingston Lisle rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.

Do you need extract fan repair in Kingston Lisle?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Kitchens in Kingston Lisle can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

What else we do in Kingston Lisle
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we’ll say so and explain what we found.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. The timing of a visit to Kingston Lisle is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
