Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Kintbury
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan rattling in its housing and a fan shaking on its mountings.
Somewhere as small as Kintbury, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

What else we do in Kintbury
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Kintbury is calmer for everyone.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Why us?
- Each visit written up, with photos
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- In business since 2009
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Kintbury.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Extract fan repair in Kintbury: local notes
In Kintbury, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Berkshire council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. We cover Kintbury, about 59 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a café or takeaway near Kintbury station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Kintbury, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. If you manage a school such as Kintbury St Mary's C.E. Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Questions from Kintbury
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Kintbury?
In Kintbury, it’s West Berkshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Will you come out to Kintbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Will the kitchen have to stop cooking while you work?
The extract must be off while the fan is opened up. Most kitchens book us out of hours to avoid losing a service.
