How we handle extract fan repair in Selsted
Grease and fans don’t mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance 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 are dealing with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an old fan that needs replacing, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings onwards.
In a small place like Selsted, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Selsted: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Selsted?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Selsted does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Selsted at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Selsted are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then give you a fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
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 affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. It’s simpler to plan the work at Selsted now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
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.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Selsted.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Common problems we fix in Selsted
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Fan failures around Selsted do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
