Questions from Weston
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Weston?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Weston is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you cover smaller places like Weston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
About our extract fan repair in Weston
Wherever your kitchen is in Weston, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a knocking noise from the extract fan and a motor that trips out or overheats.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

When to call us in Weston
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Weston or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Thomas' Church or elsewhere in Weston, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere as small as Weston, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
