About our extract fan repair in Shottesbrooke
Wherever your kitchen is in Shottesbrooke, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. The work covers fan motors, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork.
In a small place like Shottesbrooke, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. The timing of a visit to Shottesbrooke is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- 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.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need extract fan repair in Shottesbrooke?
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Shottesbrooke, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What insurance they carry
- What hours they’ll be on site
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
Extract fans in Shottesbrooke
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways in Shottesbrooke and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Shottesbrooke are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. Shottesbrooke, about 30 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Cox Green School, rather than mid-term.

Questions from Shottesbrooke
Which environmental health team covers Shottesbrooke?
The local authority for Shottesbrooke is Windsor and Maidenhead council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Shottesbrooke?
Shottesbrooke is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we’ll explain why.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
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 you keep your normal hours.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shottesbrooke
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
