What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Crow Green
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Crow Green, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. Common call-outs are for a motor that trips out or overheats and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, on belts and pulleys, bearings and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Crow Green, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Crow Green
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Crow Green?
Day or night, a failed fan in Crow Green can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you come to Crow Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Crow Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. 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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Extract fan repair around Crow Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Crow Green. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Brentwood council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crow Green. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority. Crow Green is about 19 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Larchwood Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Crow Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Do you need extract fan repair in Crow Green?
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Trinity Church, or anywhere in Crow Green, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What hours they’ll be on site
- When the next visit should be, and why
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
