About our extract fan repair in West Hyde
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in West Hyde, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you have an extract fan that has stopped working and a worn or slipping fan belt, we can help, from fan motors, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans onwards.
For a fan repair in or near West Hyde, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why deal with it now?
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. If the system at a site near West Hyde fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to West Hyde.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What affects the quote in West Hyde
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
FAQs for West Hyde
Will you come out to West Hyde?
Yes. West Hyde is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in West Hyde?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair doesn’t make sense.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
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.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Do you need extract fan repair in West Hyde?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan shaking on its mountings
For school kitchens, at schools like Maple Cross Junior Mixed Infant and Nursery School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
