How we handle extract fan repair in Tower Hill
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. We’re often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mountings and an extract fan that has stopped working, on bearings, belts and pulleys and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Tower Hill, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
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. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common questions in Tower Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Tower Hill?
Yes, Tower Hill is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Tower Hill?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Tower Hill is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain why.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you need extract fan repair in Tower Hill?
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract fan that has stopped working
For a takeaway near Christs Hospital station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
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.
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
What happens if it’s left?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
