Broad Street Green: your questions answered
Can the work in Broad Street Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Broad Street Green?
Extract fan emergencies in Broad Street Green are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, including testing. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Extract fan repair in Broad Street Green, done properly
If an extract fan in Broad Street Green is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mountings and a whining or grinding extract motor, on kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
In a small place like Broad Street Green, 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 paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
What happens if it’s left?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Broad Street Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Each visit written up, with photos
- One number for every site across the South East and London

When a fan fails in Broad Street Green
The coast is only about 3 miles from Broad Street Green. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 takeaways in and around Broad Street Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Broad Street Green get their food hygiene inspections from Maldon council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For school kitchens, at schools like Heybridge Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Broad Street Green, can seize between uses.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Broad Street Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- 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
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What else we do in Broad Street Green
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
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.
What affects the quote in Broad Street Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
Need a price for extract fan repair? Please call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start isn’t always a failed motor.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
