What affects the quote in St Ives
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
About our extract fan repair in St Ives
Kitchens in St Ives call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about a whining or grinding extract motor and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.
In a small place like St Ives, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When a fan fails in St Ives
Kitchens in St Ives get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near All Saints or elsewhere in St Ives, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

FAQs for St Ives
Is St Ives within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, St Ives included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you cover St Ives for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in St Ives can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do I get a report after the visit?
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.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
When to call us in St Ives
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Ives Primary & Nursery School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

What else we do in St Ives
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to St Ives.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
