Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Extract fan repair in Shatterling
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Shatterling, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and bearings, and people most often call us about a knocking noise from the extract fan and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
A callout to a small place like Shatterling goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Do you need extract fan repair in Shatterling?
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Wingham Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
