How we handle extract fan repair in Bentley Heath
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you are dealing with a fan that keeps cutting out and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can help.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction cannot keep cooking safely. Fans in Bentley Heath are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so we ask about access first.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Extract fan repair in Bentley Heath: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 44 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 26 takeaways and sandwich shops across Bentley Heath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange. Kitchens in Bentley Heath get their food hygiene inspections from Hertsmere council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Hall kitchens near Church of King Charles and the Martyr, or anywhere around Bentley Heath, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Pope Paul Catholic Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Bentley Heath.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload

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. It’s better booked as a planned job in Bentley Heath than handled as an emergency.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London
How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
