What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
About our extract fan repair in Almshouse Green
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. If you are dealing with an overheating extract motor and an old fan that needs replacing, we can help.
A callout to a small place like Almshouse Green goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What else we do in Almshouse Green
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Almshouse Green run smoothly.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
Advice
Questions from Almshouse Green
Do you work at weekends in Almshouse Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Almshouse Green can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Almshouse Green out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Almshouse Green can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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, which applies in England and Wales.
What extract fan repair looks like in Almshouse Green
About 43 miles out from central London, Almshouse Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Almshouse Green are the job of Braintree council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Fan failures around Almshouse Green do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
Do you need extract fan repair in Almshouse Green?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A dead fan motor
- An overheating extract motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Hedingham School and Sixth Form or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Almshouse Green
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. A fault that closes a site in a village like Almshouse Green affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
