Why it’s worth doing now in Mockbeggar
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. In a small place like Mockbeggar, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How we handle extract fan repair in Mockbeggar
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you’re dealing with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can help, from bearings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Mockbeggar
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere as small as Mockbeggar, 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.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Mockbeggar
Do you work overnight in Mockbeggar?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Mockbeggar keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Does being near the coast affect extract fan repair in Mockbeggar?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Mockbeggar than inland. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not 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 cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we will tell you the reasons.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
What affects the quote in Mockbeggar
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

When to call us in Mockbeggar
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
Look out for any of the following:
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan that won’t start at all
Fan failures around Mockbeggar don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

When a fan fails in Mockbeggar
The coast is only about 3 miles from Mockbeggar. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways across Mockbeggar and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Environmental health officers from Medway council inspect food businesses in Mockbeggar. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
For school kitchens, at schools like Cliffe Woods Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
