About our extract fan repair in Long Sutton

Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. We’re often asked to deal with a worn or slipping fan belt and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, across belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan housings.

In a small place like Long Sutton, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?

Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Long Sutton is calmer for everyone.

Every site is different, 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.

Why us?

  • In business since 2009
  • Survey first, then a fixed quote
  • Every visit written up, with pictures
  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Honest limits

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:

  • A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
  • An extract system that was undersized from the start
  • Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Where we work

  • Kitchen extract fans
  • Fan motors
  • Fan housings
  • Bearings
  • Belts and pulleys
  • Roof and wall fans

Managing agents and facilities teams in Long Sutton

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.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.

Part by part

Belt-driven fans

A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.

Direct-drive fans

An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.

Looking after it afterwards

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
  • Write down when the fan misbehaves
  • Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
  • Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed

Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.

A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Long Sutton

Can the work in Long Sutton be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Long Sutton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Do you cover Long Sutton for emergency fan repairs?

We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Long Sutton is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.

Who is the responsible person?

It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

What’s TR19?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?

Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before we start.
