About our extract fan repair in Andwell
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. Typical jobs include a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a fan rattling in its housing, across roof and wall fans, fan motors and belts and pulleys.
For a fan repair in or near Andwell, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
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.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Andwell
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An overheating extract motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If a fan fails in Andwell at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding usually come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we will talk you through it.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Andwell and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Leave it or put it right?
In Andwell, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Andwell is calmer for everyone.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Andwell: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Andwell?
Yes. Andwell is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Andwell?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Andwell needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What affects the quote in Andwell
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
