Extract Fan Repair in Thurrock

About extract fan repair in Thurrock

If an extract fan in Thurrock is struggling or has stopped, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and people most often call us about vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan that keeps cutting out.

We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered.

  1. We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
  2. The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
  3. We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
  4. We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
  5. The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.

What you will pay

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

Where we work in Thurrock

In Thurrock, extract fans range from rooftop units in places such as Stanford-le-Hope, Grays and South Ockendon to wall-mounted fans on village kitchens. Grease, weather and long hours wear belts, bearings and motors.

London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in Thurrock, the work is done to the same TR19® standard. Parts of Thurrock are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.

Stanford-le-Hope: A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Stanford-le-Hope, can seize between uses. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Arthur Bugler Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Why it fails

Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.

The symptoms we’re asked about most are:

  • A fan rattling in its housing
  • A dead fan motor
  • A squealing belt on start-up
  • Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen

What staff can safely do

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

What happens if it’s left?

Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • How they set the interval to the next visit

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Thurrock. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Thurrock questions

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.

What do you do with what you remove?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.

What if our extract fan fails during service?

We run a 24/7 emergency callout for exactly this. We will talk it through with you and arrange to attend as soon as we can.

How much notice do you need?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
