About our extract fan repair in Parker's Green
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, across bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
In a small place like Parker's Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Parker's Green run smoothly.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Parker's Green
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Somewhere as small as Parker's Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A fixed price before any work starts

Parker's Green questions
Can you work in Parker's Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Parker's Green can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Parker's Green?
Yes, Parker's Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we will always say when repair makes sense.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We will tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
