The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Woughton on the Green can be planned properly.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system

What affects the quote in Woughton on the Green
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
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.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
Why act early in Woughton on the Green
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. In a place like Woughton on the Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Part by part
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
