In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we handle extract fan repair in Eastrop
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers fan housings, belts and pulleys and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are a dead fan motor and a worn or slipping fan belt.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Eastrop often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain the options.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Eastrop
Can you come to Eastrop after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Eastrop keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Eastrop at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Eastrop is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
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.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Eastrop
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. For a place like Eastrop, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
Signs you need extract fan repair in Eastrop
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A dead fan motor
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The Costello School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
