Extract fan repair in Coleman's Hatch, done properly
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before work begins. The work covers roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and a fan that won’t start at all.
A callout to a small place like Coleman's Hatch goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.

What else we do in Coleman's Hatch
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 work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a small place like Coleman's Hatch, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Coleman's Hatch
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Coleman's Hatch, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report

Leave it or put it right?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What a clean won’t put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. Leave those to us.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Coleman's Hatch
Can you get to a site in Coleman's Hatch?
Yes, Coleman's Hatch is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Coleman's Hatch for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Coleman's Hatch is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we’ll tell you the reasons.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Report new noises from the fan early
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
