How we handle extract fan repair in Lambourn
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and an overheating extract motor.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Lambourn often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Why deal with it now?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Even a site near Lambourn that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor is not always to blame.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
When to call us in Lambourn
In Lambourn, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Hall kitchens near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere around Lambourn, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. A site near Lambourn usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Lambourn questions
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Lambourn?
Day or night, a failed fan in Lambourn can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Is Lambourn within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
