Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Burnt Heath
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Common call-outs are for a squealing belt on start-up and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, across bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
For a fan repair in or near Burnt Heath, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How we price extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. For a village or hamlet like Burnt Heath, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Questions from Burnt Heath
Do you work at weekends in Burnt Heath?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Burnt Heath keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you get to a site in Burnt Heath?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Burnt Heath included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Common problems we fix in Burnt Heath
Kitchen extract fans in Burnt Heath face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Fan failures around Burnt Heath do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

Why act early in Burnt Heath
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. If the system at a site near Burnt Heath fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

When a fan fails in Burnt Heath
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Burnt Heath and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Burnt Heath, about 55 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Burnt Heath get their food hygiene inspections from Tendring council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
