About our extract fan repair in Lower Froyle
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Typical jobs include a humming noise from the fan motor and a knocking noise from the extract fan, across fan motors, fan housings and bearings.
A callout to a small place like Lower Froyle goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Visits to a village like Lower Froyle are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Lower Froyle
Can you come to Lower Froyle after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Lower Froyle keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover Lower Froyle for emergency fan repairs?
Lower Froyle is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. It’s simpler to plan the work at Lower Froyle now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
