What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Stratfield Saye
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
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, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Common questions in Stratfield Saye
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stratfield Saye?
The local authority for Stratfield Saye is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Stratfield Saye at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Stratfield Saye can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We’ll give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
When to call us in Stratfield Saye
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
For kitchens in and around Stratfield Saye, our emergency line runs 24/7.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Why deal with it now?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Stratfield Saye gets to the real cause. It’s simpler to plan the work at Stratfield Saye now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
