How we handle extract fan repair in Remenham Hill
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly 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. If you have a fan rattling in its housing and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can put it right.
In a small place like Remenham Hill, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is, Remenham Hill included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. A fault that closes a site in a village like Remenham Hill affects everyone who depends on it.

For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Remenham Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wokingham council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. We cover Remenham Hill, about 34 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Rupert House School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Remenham Hill, can seize between uses.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Remenham Hill questions
Do you work in villages like Remenham Hill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Remenham Hill included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work overnight in Remenham Hill?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Remenham Hill, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
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.
