Extract fan repair in West Farleigh, done properly
Working on a fan in West Farleigh 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. The work covers bearings, fan housings and fan motors, and people most often call us about weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a dead fan motor.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Somewhere as small as West Farleigh, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Common problems we fix in West Farleigh
Fans everywhere, West Farleigh included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An overheating extract motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan shaking on its mountings
If you manage a school such as Oakwood Park Grammar School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a written report and photos are included
West Farleigh: your questions answered
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in West Farleigh?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and West Farleigh is within the area we cover. 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.
Will you come out to West Farleigh?
Yes, West Farleigh is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
