About our extract fan repair in Mayes Green
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. Typical jobs include a fan that keeps cutting out and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, on belts and pulleys, fan housings and bearings.
In a small place like Mayes Green, 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 is 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 it’s worth doing now in Mayes Green
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. It’s simpler to plan the work at Mayes Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mayes Green run smoothly.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Mayes Green: your questions answered
Can you work in Mayes Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Mayes Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Mayes Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
When to call us in Mayes Green
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An overheating extract motor
Around Mayes Green, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.
