Extract Fan Repair in Old Warren
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for commercial sites in Old Warren and across West Berkshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that keeps cutting out
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere as small as Old Warren, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Extract fan repair in Old Warren, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. We are often asked to deal with an extract fan that has stopped working and a failed fan that needs a replacement, on fan housings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans.
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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
If you need extract fan repair in Old Warren, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Old Warren rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

Questions from Old Warren
Can you work in Old Warren outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Old Warren does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Old Warren?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Old Warren is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Extract fan repair around Old Warren
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Old Warren and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. About 45 miles out from central London, Old Warren is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Old Warren. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St.Saviours or elsewhere in Old Warren, can seize between uses. Fan failures around Old Warren don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.
