About our extract fan repair in Bradfield Heath
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and bearings, and common reasons people get in touch are a knocking noise from the extract fan and an extract fan that has stopped working.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Bradfield Heath
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bradfield Heath.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What else we do in Bradfield Heath
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Extract fan repair in Bradfield Heath: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Bradfield Heath. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Bradfield Heath and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Bradfield Heath, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tendring council. 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.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Bradfield Heath, can seize between uses. For school kitchens, at schools like Bradfield Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
