Extract fan repair in Broadley Common, done properly
Kitchens in Broadley Common call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, 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. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that keeps cutting out and a fan that won’t start at all, across roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors.
A callout to a small place like Broadley Common goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Broadley Common
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadley Common
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
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 the report can go to both.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Broadley Common knowing what to expect.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Broadley Common questions
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Broadley Common out of hours?
Broadley Common is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Which council inspects kitchens in Broadley Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Broadley Common are carried out by Epping Forest council. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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, which applies in England and Wales.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
What we’re called out for in Broadley Common
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that won’t start is not always a dead motor.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Broadley Common, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote shows VAT
