How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Dunton Green knowing what to expect.

- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.

Extract fan repair in Dunton Green
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan motors and bearings, and common reasons people get in touch are a worn or slipping fan belt and an extract fan that has stopped working.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Dunton Green
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Dunton Green at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Dunton Green is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can the work in Dunton Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Dunton Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, including testing. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dunton Green
Wherever the kitchen is, Dunton Green included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- Photo reports with every job
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Trading since 2009

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.

Do you need extract fan repair in Dunton Green?
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Dunton Green or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Dunton Green Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
