What extract fan repair can’t fix

- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking

- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.

Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Grease, dust and wear all build up with time.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What you get with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- We diagnose before we treat
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

When a fan fails in Earley
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 72 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 43 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Earley. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Kitchens in Earley get their food hygiene inspections from Wokingham council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. We cover Earley, about 36 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
For a takeaway near Earley station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Hall kitchens near Trinity Church, or anywhere around Earley, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Earley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Earley?
Kitchens in Earley are inspected by Wokingham council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Earley?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Earley is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
When to call us in Earley
Kitchen extract fans in Earley face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan shaking on its mountings
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Radstock Primary School, rather than mid-term.
