Part by part
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Aimes Green
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Aimes Green, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Typical jobs include a fan that keeps cutting out and an extract fan that has stopped working, on belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Aimes Green, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Aimes Green
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Aimes Green?
Extract fan emergencies in Aimes Green are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you come to Aimes Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Aimes Green can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then send you a fixed quote.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Extract fans in Aimes Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 23 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Aimes Green. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Epping Forest council inspect food businesses in Aimes Green. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. About 15 miles out from central London, Aimes Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as King Harold Business & Enterprise Academy, rather than mid-term. Fan failures around Aimes Green do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

Nearby you will also find Nazeing Glass Museum (2.6 miles north-west) and St. Margaret's Hospital (4.4 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Lippitts Hill and Cheshunt Lake.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Aimes Green can be planned properly.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
