Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Sibley's Green
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a motor that trips out or overheats and a fan shaking on its mountings.
In a village or hamlet like Sibley's Green, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and leave you the report.

What we are called out for in Sibley's Green
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Fan failures around Sibley's Green don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

What happens if it’s left?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Planning a trip to Sibley's Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

When a fan fails in Sibley's Green
Look up Sibley's Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sibley's Green. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. About 35 miles out from central London, Sibley's Green is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Sibley's Green get their food hygiene inspections from Uttlesford council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Putteridge High School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
Sibley's Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Sibley's Green?
Kitchens in Sibley's Green are inspected by Uttlesford council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you come to Sibley's Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Sibley's Green keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you cover Sibley's Green?
Yes. We cover Sibley's Green and the rest of Essex, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t 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 cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
