Extract fan repair in Long Marston, done properly
Across Long Marston, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Common call-outs are for a motor that trips out or overheats and a squealing belt on start-up, on fan motors, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans.
In a small place like Long Marston, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

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 will say so and explain what we found.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Other services in Long Marston
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Bearings

Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Long Marston gets to the real cause. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Long Marston.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Do you need extract fan repair in Long Marston?

Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Long Marston?
Day or night, a failed fan in Long Marston can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.

It depends on the fault, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. You’ll know more once we’ve found the fault.

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
