Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Bridge Green
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. If you’re dealing with a dead fan motor and a fan that keeps cutting out, we can help, from fan housings, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys onwards.
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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Bridge Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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 there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Bridge Green: your questions answered
Can you work in Bridge Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Bridge Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Bridge Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bridge Green is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise normally comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
When something else is needed
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
