Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Cock Street
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers fan housings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.
A callout to a small place like Cock Street goes better when we know what we are looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Cock Street
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. With notice, the visit to Cock Street can be fitted around your bookings and events.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Common questions in Cock Street
Who inspects food businesses in Cock Street?
Kitchens in Cock Street are inspected by Babergh council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Cock Street out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Cock Street are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. For a village or hamlet like Cock Street, 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.
- 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.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

How we price extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What we are called out for in Cock Street
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A motor that trips out or overheats
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Matthew's Church or elsewhere in Cock Street, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
