For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Extract fan repair in Poyle
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Common call-outs are for an overheating extract motor and poor airflow at the canopy, on bearings, belts and pulleys and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Poyle, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the quote in Poyle
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
If you need extract fan repair in Poyle, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. A fault that closes a site in a village like Poyle affects everyone who depends on it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.

Poyle questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Poyle?
The local authority for Poyle is Slough council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Is Poyle within the area you cover?
Yes, Poyle is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What if our extract fan fails during service?
Our emergency line is open 24/7. Ring us if the fan fails and we’ll organise an engineer.
Do you need extract fan repair in Poyle?
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan that will not start at all
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Pippins School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Extract fans in Poyle
Look up Poyle on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 46 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops in Poyle and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Environmental health officers from Slough council inspect food businesses in Poyle. 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. About 18 miles out from central London, Poyle is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Thomas or elsewhere in Poyle, can seize between uses.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Report new noises from the fan early
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Poyle before we set off.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
