Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Ockley
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you have a failed fan that needs a replacement and a dead fan motor, we can put it right, from fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Ockley, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ockley
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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 records stay tidy.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
What happens if it’s left?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ockley affects everyone who depends on it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

Advice
Questions from Ockley
Do you work overnight in Ockley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Ockley needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Ockley?
Extract fan emergencies in Ockley are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Ockley
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A whining or grinding extract motor
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St John's Church or elsewhere in Ockley, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we will talk you through it.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
