If you are dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan rattling in its housing, we can put it right.
A callout to a small place like Whistley Green goes better when we know what we are looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Why deal with it now?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Whistley Green gets to the real cause. Planning a trip to Whistley Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Questions from Whistley Green
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Whistley Green at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Whistley Green can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Whistley Green?
That is Wokingham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Whistley Green. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.

Do you need extract fan repair in Whistley Green?
Fans everywhere, Whistley Green 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as St Nicholas Church of England Primary or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
