How we price extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Cousley Wood
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Cousley Wood, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can help, from roof and wall fans, fan motors and bearings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Cousley Wood: your questions answered
Can you come to Cousley Wood after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Cousley Wood needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Cousley Wood at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Cousley Wood can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, including testing. We plan the work around your service where possible.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we’ll explain the options.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Do you need extract fan repair in Cousley Wood?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Rehoboth Chapel, or anywhere in Cousley Wood, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

What happens if it’s left?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Cousley Wood before we set off.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
