Common problems we fix in Boreham Street
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Around Boreham Street, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.

Extract fan repair in Boreham Street
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan shaking on its mountings and a knocking noise from the extract fan.
In a small place like Boreham Street, 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 report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Visits to a village like Boreham Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work

FAQs for Boreham Street
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Boreham Street out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Boreham Street are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can you come to Boreham Street after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Boreham Street doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we will explain why.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor is not always to blame.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the quote in Boreham Street
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear

- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
