Extract fan repair in Essex: how it works

Wherever your kitchen is in Essex, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Typical jobs include a fan that won’t start at all and a fan that keeps cutting out, on fan motors, bearings and belts and pulleys.

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. After that, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan.

We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.

Extract fans across Essex

Our extract fan repair work across Essex takes in places such as Colchester, Chelmsford and Basildon and well beyond. Every place on our Essex list (644 in all) is covered, around the clock for emergencies.

Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in Essex can keep trading. Essex includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of roof-level equipment. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.

Colchester: If you cook near Colchester Town station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. For school kitchens, at schools like Colchester Sixth Form College for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Between visits

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Report new noises from the fan early
Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down

If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.

When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.

What extract fan repair cannot fix

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve

What staff can safely do

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

Leave it or put it right?

Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer.

Questions to ask before booking

What paperwork you get at the end
Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Whether a survey comes first

Any permits to work or inductions

The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Questions from Essex

How much notice do you need?

Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Which accreditations do you hold?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Is Essex in your area?

Yes. We work in Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?

Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

What do you do with what you remove?

We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.

Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?

We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we’ll tell you the reasons.
