Extract fan repair across Rushmoor

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Extract fan repair in Rushmoor

Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. Common call-outs are for a motor that trips out or overheats and a fan that won’t start at all, across roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys.

A callout to a small place like Rushmoor goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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 the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Visits to a village like Rushmoor are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
  2. We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
  3. We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
  4. We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
  5. The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site

How to get a quote

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Rushmoor

Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.

The symptoms we are asked about most are:

  • A squealing belt on start-up
  • An extract fan that rattles or knocks
  • A failed fan that needs a replacement
  • An extract fan that has stopped working

Around Rushmoor, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.

What to look for in a quote

  • What records you will receive afterwards
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

Multi-site and managed buildings

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Aftercare tips

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
  • Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
  • Note when the fan trips or cuts out
  • Keep all filters fitted while cooking

If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.

A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.

Leave it or put it right?

A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. In a small place like Rushmoor, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

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.

Do you have insurance?

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Do you provide a certificate or report?

Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

What will a fan repair or replacement cost?

The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
