Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Extract fan repair in Crow's Green
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we’ll recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you are dealing with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a belt-driven fan that squeals, we can put it right.
A callout to a small place like Crow's Green goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Why act early in Crow's Green
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. A planned visit to Crow's Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Crow's Green before we set off.
- 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.
- 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.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Honest limits
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
