Langley Green questions
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Langley Green out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Langley Green are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can you work in Langley Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Langley Green can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
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.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Extract fan repair in Langley Green, done properly
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. We are often asked to deal with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a dead fan motor, on kitchen extract fans, fan motors and bearings.
In a place like Langley Green, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we will explain the options.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What else we do in Langley Green
Extract fans in Langley Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 67 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 33 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Langley Green. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Environmental health officers from Crawley council inspect food businesses in Langley Green. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority. At about 26 miles from central London, Langley Green sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Langley Green Primary, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God or elsewhere in Langley Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Why it’s worth doing now in Langley Green
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Around Langley Green, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. For a place like Langley Green, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Honest limits
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
