Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Extract fan repair in West Chiltington Common, done properly
Working on a fan in West Chiltington Common means switching the extract off first, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mountings and an old fan that needs replacing, across fan housings, fan motors and belts and pulleys.
Kitchens around a smaller place like West Chiltington Common often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain the options.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

West Chiltington Common: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in West Chiltington Common?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in West Chiltington Common keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in West Chiltington Common?
Extract fan emergencies in West Chiltington Common are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan normally means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a smaller place like West Chiltington Common, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

What we’re called out for in West Chiltington Common
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that will not start is not always a dead motor.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you manage a school such as West Chiltington Community Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Before booking anyone
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
