Staines Green: your questions answered
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Staines Green?
Day or night, a failed fan in Staines Green can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you come to Staines Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain why.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Staines Green
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. If you have a fan rattling in its housing and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can put it right, from belts and pulleys, fan housings and fan motors onwards.
Somewhere as small as Staines Green, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the quote in Staines Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
How it works
We turn up 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 first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Staines Green.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Leave it or put it right?

When to call us in Staines Green
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan that won’t start at all
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Hertingfordbury Cowper Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that’s what we find so you know who to call.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
