- A knocking noise from the extract fan
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Extract fan repair in Breach, done properly
Wherever your kitchen is in Breach, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. We’re often asked to deal with a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan shaking on its mountings, across fan housings, bearings and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Breach, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere like Breach, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Common questions in Breach
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Breach at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Breach is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Will you come out to Breach?
Yes, Breach is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
What else we do in Breach
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Breach
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

Why it’s worth doing now in Breach
Wherever the kitchen is, Breach included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
