Why deal with it now?
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. With notice, the visit to Cassington can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Extract fan repair in Cassington, done properly
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. 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 with a repair or a replacement. If you have an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan that keeps cutting out, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Cassington, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we’ll talk you through it.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Cassington
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and we clear up before we go. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Cassington knowing what to expect.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

What else we do in Cassington
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
