Common problems we fix in Saint Hill Green
Kitchen extract fans in Saint Hill Green face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as The Meads Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. If the system at a site near Saint Hill Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Saint Hill Green questions
Can you get to a site in Saint Hill Green?
Yes, Saint Hill 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 the work in Saint Hill Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Saint Hill Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
A typical repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, including testing. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours wherever we can.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Saint Hill Green.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
