Questions from Salters Heath
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Salters Heath out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Salters Heath are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you cover smaller places like Salters Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Salters Heath
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. Common call-outs are for an old fan that needs replacing and a fan shaking on its mountings, on belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan housings.
In a small place like Salters Heath, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Leave it or put it right?
In Salters Heath, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Planning a trip to Salters Heath ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Salters Heath
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A whining or grinding extract motor
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as The Priory Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
