How we handle extract fan repair in Windsor
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and an old fan that needs replacing.
Extract fans on buildings in towns like Windsor are often on a flat roof or an outside wall, where they take the weather as well as the grease. In time, belts, bearings and motors wear.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Before the visit, a few photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan the work in Windsor.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

Leave it or put it right?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Dealt with now, it’s a planned visit around your hours rather than a callout when the site needs to be open.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What you get with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fully insured
- We diagnose before we treat
- A written report with photos after every visit

What else we do in Windsor
How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
FAQs for Windsor
Which council inspects kitchens in Windsor?
The local authority for Windsor is Windsor and Maidenhead council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Windsor?
Day or night, a failed fan in Windsor can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
What is 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.
Extract fan repair in Windsor: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 164 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 19 takeaways and sandwich shops across Windsor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. We cover Windsor, about 23 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Food hygiene inspections in Windsor are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Windsor, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Windsor
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that will not start isn’t always a dead motor.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Edward's Catholic First School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
