What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we handle extract fan repair in Whiteley Village
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Common call-outs are for an overheating extract motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, across bearings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans.
For a fan repair in or near Whiteley Village, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.

Look up Whiteley Village on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 17 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Whiteley Village, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Whiteley Village, about 18 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Whiteley Village are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.

- On site, the fan is safely isolated.

Why it’s worth doing now in Whiteley Village
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Whiteley Village gets to the real cause. If the system at a site near Whiteley Village fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Whiteley Village
Can you come to Whiteley Village after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Whiteley Village keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Whiteley Village at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Whiteley Village can be reported on our emergency line. 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.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you need extract fan repair in Whiteley Village?
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Notre Dame Senior School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
