Tinsley Green questions
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Tinsley Green out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Tinsley Green can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can the work in Tinsley Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Tinsley Green needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, including testing. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. 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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
About our extract fan repair in Tinsley Green
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. We are often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan that keeps cutting out, across fan motors, bearings and roof and wall fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Tinsley Green.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Tinsley Green
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that is a common source of rattles.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A worn or slipping fan belt
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Michael and All Angels Church or elsewhere in Tinsley Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

- What records you’ll receive afterwards

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
