Why it’s worth doing now in Ellisfield

A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Why book with us

  • We diagnose before we treat
  • We are fully insured
  • In business since 2009
  • A fixed price before any work starts

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Ellisfield

Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. We’re often asked to deal with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a dead fan motor, across belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan motors.

Somewhere as small as Ellisfield, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.

We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What we are called out for in Ellisfield

Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.

The symptoms we are asked about most are:

  • A motor that trips out or overheats
  • Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
  • An old fan that needs replacing
  • A squealing belt on start-up

For kitchens in and around Ellisfield, our emergency line runs 24/7.

Questions from Ellisfield

Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Ellisfield?

Ellisfield is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.

Is Ellisfield within the area you cover?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ellisfield included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

What causes a noisy extract fan?

It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

Which sectors do you work in?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?

We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.

Which records should we keep?

The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.

What happens on the day

We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. The timing of a visit to Ellisfield is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

  1. You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
  2. On site, the fan is safely isolated.
  3. We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
  4. A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
  5. We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Ask for a quote

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Ellisfield

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • What state the system is in
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What to send for a quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Problems your staff have spotted

For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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. We usually come back within one working day.

Multi-site and managed buildings

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

When it’s something else

In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
  • Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
  • Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on in Ellisfield

  • Belts and pulleys
  • Kitchen extract fans
  • Bearings
  • Fan housings
  • Roof and wall fans
  • Fan motors

Part by part

Motors and bearings

A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.

Roof and wall-mounted fans

Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
