Extract fan repair in Peasemore
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Common call-outs are for a humming noise from the fan motor and an overheating extract motor, on belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and bearings.
For a fan repair in or near Peasemore, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Somewhere like Peasemore, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What staff can safely do
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Common problems we fix in Peasemore
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that will not start is not always a dead motor.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A worn or slipping fan belt
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere in Peasemore, can seize between uses.

Peasemore: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Peasemore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Peasemore after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Typically, a fan repair takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.

Why it’s worth doing now in Peasemore
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Planning a trip to Peasemore ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
