What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Extract fan repair in Burnham
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Common call-outs are for a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, across belts and pulleys, fan housings and bearings.
For a fan repair near Burnham, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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.
Part by part
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

- Belts and pulleys
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
How it 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. In a place like Burnham, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Your questions about extract fan repair in Burnham
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Burnham?
Day or night, a failed fan in Burnham can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you work overnight in Burnham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
How much time does a fan repair need?
As a guide, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Extract fan repair around Burnham
Look up Burnham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 53 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 20 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Burnham. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Burnham. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We cover Burnham, about 24 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a kitchen close to Burnham station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. Hall kitchens near St Peter's Church, or anywhere around Burnham, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
