Extract Fan Repair in Lockerley
Extract fan repair across Lockerley and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
About our extract fan repair in Lockerley
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and fan motors, and people most often call us about a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a whining or grinding extract motor.
A callout to a small place like Lockerley goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We are 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, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Lockerley
Questions from Lockerley
Do you work overnight in Lockerley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Lockerley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lockerley included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We’ll point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that’s the cause, we’ll say so so you know who to call.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Lockerley
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that will not start at all
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St John or elsewhere in Lockerley, can seize between uses.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a survey comes first
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Lockerley.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
How we price extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
