About our extract fan repair in Cannon's Green
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Cannon's Green, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and bearings, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a humming noise from the fan motor.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that’s the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.

What else we do in Cannon's Green
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem 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.
Questions from Cannon's Green
Will you come out to Cannon's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Cannon's Green?
The local authority for Cannon's Green is Epping Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Does the extract need to be off for a fan repair?
The extract must be off while the fan is opened up. Most kitchens book us out of hours, so service is not lost.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Typically, a fan repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If parts have to be ordered, we’ll tell you how long that is likely to be.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we’ll explain the options.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
