About our extract fan repair in Latimer
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. We’re often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan that keeps cutting out, on fan housings, fan motors and bearings.
In a small place like Latimer, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Latimer: your questions answered
Do you cover Latimer for emergency fan repairs?
Latimer is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you get to a site in Latimer?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Latimer included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. For a village or hamlet like Latimer, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Why act early in Latimer
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
When to call us in Latimer
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A squealing belt on start-up
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Latimer, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

Extract fan repair around Latimer
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways across Latimer and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. About 23 miles out from central London, Latimer is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in Latimer get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you manage a school such as Little Chalfont Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What else we do in Latimer
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
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 pictures, so records stay tidy.
