The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere as small as Marlow Bottom, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

How we handle extract fan repair in Marlow Bottom
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mountings and a humming noise from the fan motor, across belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan motors.
In a small place like Marlow Bottom, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is, Marlow Bottom included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Marlow Bottom rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.

Can you work in Marlow Bottom outside opening hours?

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
