Extract fan repair in Coxtie Green
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and bearings, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a humming noise from the fan motor.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why it’s worth doing now in Coxtie Green
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Coxtie Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Coxtie Green
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Coxtie Green?
Coxtie Green is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who inspects food businesses in Coxtie Green?
Kitchens in Coxtie Green are inspected by Brentwood council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like Coxtie Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding usually come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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.
