Extract fan repair in Drayton Parslow, done properly
Wherever your kitchen is in Drayton Parslow, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings onwards.
In a small place like Drayton Parslow, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch

FAQs for Drayton Parslow
Do you cover smaller places like Drayton Parslow?
Yes. Drayton Parslow is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Drayton Parslow?
Extract fan emergencies in Drayton Parslow are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much time does a fan repair need?
As a guide, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Common problems we fix in Drayton Parslow
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A squealing belt on start-up
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Drayton Parslow, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Report new noises from the fan early
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Drayton Parslow.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
