Your questions about extract fan repair in Titmore Green
Can the work in Titmore Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Titmore Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Titmore Green for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Titmore Green is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Most fan jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
What affects the quote in Titmore Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
What we are called out for in Titmore 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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
For school kitchens, at schools like Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
