Aftercare tips

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:

  • Report new noises from the fan early
  • Note when the fan trips or cuts out
  • Keep all filters fitted while cooking
  • Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails

We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.

Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.

About our extract fan repair in St. Ebbes

Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. We are often asked to deal with an overheating extract motor and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, across bearings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.

A callout to a place like St. Ebbes is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos 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 St. Ebbes?

Fans everywhere, St. Ebbes included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.

Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A squealing belt on start-up
  • A fan worn beyond sensible repair
  • A fan that whines, hums or grinds
  • An extract that vibrates through the ductwork

For school kitchens, at schools like Oxford Media & Business School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:

  • Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
  • Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
  • Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Fan motors
  • Belts and pulleys
  • Kitchen extract fans
  • Fan housings
  • Roof and wall fans
  • Bearings

How we price extract fan repair

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The times the site is available
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The size of the system

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What we need to know

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • A few general shots of the system

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Questions from St. Ebbes

Do you work in villages like St. Ebbes?

Yes, St. Ebbes is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in St. Ebbes?

We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and St. Ebbes is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.

How do you protect the area?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?

Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.

Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?

We cannot price it without knowing the fault. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.

What happens to the waste?

It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

What paperwork should we keep on file?

Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.

Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?

A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.

What happens on the day

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Because the survey comes first, a visit to St. Ebbes can normally be finished without a second trip.

  1. A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
  2. The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
  3. Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
  4. We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
  5. We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.

What the work involves, part by part

Motors and bearings

Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.

Roof and wall-mounted fans

Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
