What we do, step by step
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. The work on site takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Coopersale is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area

Extract fan repair in Coopersale
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed fan that needs a replacement and a dead fan motor.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Coopersale
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When a fan fails in Coopersale
There are about 39 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops in Coopersale and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Coopersale is about 17 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Coopersale get their food hygiene inspections from Epping Forest council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St John's Church of England Voluntary Controlled School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Coopersale can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Coopersale is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we’ll tell you the reasons.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.

What we’re called out for in Coopersale
In Coopersale, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A humming noise from the fan motor
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Saint Alban's Church or elsewhere in Coopersale, can seize between uses.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether VAT is included
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
