Extract fan repair across Tisman's Common

The process

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Tisman's Common knowing what to expect.

  1. You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
  2. On site, the fan is safely isolated.
  3. We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
  4. You get a fixed price for putting it right.
  5. We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Move anything stored near the system

Getting a quote

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Advice

About our extract fan repair in Tisman's Common

Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and bearings, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and a squealing belt on start-up.

A callout to a small place like Tisman's Common goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

When to call us in Tisman's Common

Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.

Common reasons sites call us are:

  • A fan that whines, hums or grinds
  • A belt-driven fan that squeals
  • A motor that trips out or overheats
  • A dead fan motor

Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Tisman's Common, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Before booking anyone

  • What insurance they carry
  • When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • Whether the figure could change on the day

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Tisman's Common questions

Do you work overnight in Tisman's Common?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Tisman's Common needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.

Which council inspects kitchens in Tisman's Common?

The local authority for Tisman's Common is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.

How much does an extract fan repair cost?

We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.

Which records should we keep?

The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.

How long will the fan be out of action?

As a guide, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that’s likely to be.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

Do you work in Tisman's Common?

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Tisman's Common.

What happens if it’s left?

Wherever the kitchen is, Tisman's Common included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. Planning a trip to Tisman's Common ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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 are happy to quote for all of it.

What the work involves, part by part

Fan controls

Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.

Belt-driven fans

Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
