Extract fan repair in Debden Green, done properly
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you are dealing with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can put it right.
For a fan repair in or near Debden Green, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.

Other services in Debden Green
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Why it’s worth doing now in Debden Green
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. It’s simpler to plan the work at Debden Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Common questions in Debden Green
Do you work at weekends in Debden Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Debden Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Debden Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What affects the quote in Debden Green
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
