Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Ashley
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. Common call-outs are for a humming noise from the fan motor and an extract fan that has stopped working, across roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and fan motors.
In a small place like Ashley, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem 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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
FAQs for Ashley
Is Ashley within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ashley is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Ashley at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Ashley is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Most fan jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, including testing. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Why deal with it now?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Ashley gets to the real cause. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Trading since 2009
- Full insurance on every job
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Ashley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
How we price extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
