Extract fan repair in Three Mile Cross, done properly
Kitchens in Three Mile Cross call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. Common call-outs are for a fan that won’t start at all and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, across kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan housings.
For a fan repair in or near Three Mile Cross, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
FAQs for Three Mile Cross
Can you come to Three Mile Cross after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Three Mile Cross can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you work in villages like Three Mile Cross?
Yes. Three Mile Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Three Mile Cross, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
