Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Bradwell on Sea

Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. Typical jobs include a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a worn or slipping fan belt, across belts and pulleys, bearings and fan housings.

Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.

Every 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.

Between visits

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Make sure every filter is in place and clean
  • Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
  • Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
  • Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle

If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.

When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.

What we’re called out for in Bradwell on Sea

Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • An old fan that needs replacing
  • A dead fan motor
  • A squealing belt on start-up
  • A fan that keeps cutting out

For school kitchens, at schools like St Cedd's Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • How they set the interval to the next visit

  • What paperwork you get at the end

What affects the quote in Bradwell on Sea

The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • How big the system is
  • What state the system is in
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Asking for a quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • The postcode and the type of business

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Multi-site and managed buildings

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

What a clean will not put right

In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
  • Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
  • A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works

Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere like Bradwell on Sea, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
  2. The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
  3. We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
  4. You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
  5. The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.

  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

How the job changes from site to site

Fan controls

Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that is the cause, we’ll say so so you know who to call.

Motors and bearings

If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
