About our extract fan repair in Letcombe Regis
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Letcombe Regis, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. We are often asked to deal with poor airflow at the canopy and a humming noise from the fan motor, across bearings, fan motors and roof and wall fans.
A callout to a small place like Letcombe Regis goes better when we know what we are looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How we price extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Questions from Letcombe Regis
Who inspects food businesses in Letcombe Regis?
Food hygiene inspections in Letcombe Regis are carried out by Vale of White Horse council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Letcombe Regis at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Letcombe Regis is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
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. You will know more once we’ve found the fault.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What extract fan repair looks like in Letcombe Regis
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 17 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Letcombe Regis, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Letcombe Regis is about 59 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. It’s Vale of White Horse council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Letcombe Regis. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you manage a school such as St Nicholas CofE Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Letcombe Regis and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Do you need extract fan repair in Letcombe Regis?
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Letcombe Regis or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Letcombe Regis, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
