- An overheating extract motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Wolverton Common
Grease and fans don’t mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you have a belt-driven fan that squeals and a motor that trips out or overheats, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Wolverton Common, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Wolverton Common, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What’s near Wolverton Common

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
When to call us in Wolverton Common
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 the noise follows.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mountings
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as The Hurst School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Wolverton Common questions
Do you cover Wolverton Common for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Wolverton Common are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can you get to a site in Wolverton Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wolverton Common included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. 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.
