How we handle extract fan repair in Bachelor's Bump
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you have a fan that keeps cutting out and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can help, from fan housings, kitchen extract fans and bearings onwards.
In a small place like Bachelor's Bump, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Bachelor's Bump
In Bachelor's Bump, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Hall kitchens near Christ Apostolic Church Hastings, or anywhere around Bachelor's Bump, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What paperwork you get at the end
How we price extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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 the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Leave it or put it right?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. With notice, the visit to Bachelor's Bump can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why us?
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The process
On the day, we arrive 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 first, 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. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Bachelor's Bump knowing what to expect.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Most fan jobs take part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered including running the fan afterwards. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
