Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Selsfield Common
Wherever your kitchen is in Selsfield Common, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. If you’re dealing with a knocking noise from the extract fan and a dead fan motor, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Report new noises from the fan early
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Selsfield Common: your questions answered
Can you come to Selsfield Common after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Selsfield Common keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Selsfield Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Selsfield Common included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
Why act early in Selsfield Common
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. In a small place like Selsfield Common, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Selsfield Common
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A whining or grinding extract motor
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Turners Hill CofE Primary School, rather than mid-term.
