Extract fan repair in Ballards Gore
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings, and people most often call us about a squealing belt on start-up and a fan rattling in its housing.
For a fan repair in or near Ballards Gore, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Ballards Gore
Do you work overnight in Ballards Gore?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Ballards Gore doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Ballards Gore?
The local authority for Ballards Gore is Rochford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Do you work in Ballards Gore?
Yes. We work in Ballards Gore and across Essex, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What affects the quote in Ballards Gore
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Extract fans in Ballards Gore
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Ballards Gore and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. About 37 miles out from central London, Ballards Gore is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Rochford council inspect food businesses in Ballards Gore. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.

Part by part
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
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 booking.
Where we work
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ballards Gore
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. In a small place like Ballards Gore, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Every job surveyed first
- Trading since 2009
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A fixed price before any work starts

- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
