How we handle extract fan repair in Broughton
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. The work covers fan motors, fan housings and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a squealing belt on start-up.
In a place like Broughton, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Report new noises from the fan early
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Broughton
Do you work overnight in Broughton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Broughton can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Broughton?
That’s Milton Keynes council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Broughton. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you cover Broughton?
Yes. Broughton is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What happens if it’s left?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Visits to a place like Broughton are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Extract fan repair in Broughton: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 35 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 17 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Broughton. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Milton Keynes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Broughton. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. Broughton, about 46 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Lawrence's Church or elsewhere in Broughton, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. For school kitchens, at schools like Broughton Fields Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
