Extract fan repair for sites in Eridge Green

About our extract fan repair in Eridge Green

Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Eridge Green, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. The work covers fan housings, bearings and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are an overheating extract motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.

In a village or hamlet like Eridge Green, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.

Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Eridge Green

It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. In a place like Eridge Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

What extract fan repair can’t fix

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
  • A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
  • Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Where we work

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:

  • Write down when the fan misbehaves
  • Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
  • Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
  • Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise

Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.

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 wear is caught earlier.

Questions from Eridge Green

Can the work in Eridge Green be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Eridge Green can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Which council inspects kitchens in Eridge Green?

The local authority for Eridge Green is Wealden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?

Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.

Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?

Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.

How much does an extract fan repair cost?

We can’t price it without knowing the fault. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.

The process

Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and we clear up before we go. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Eridge Green knowing what to expect.

  1. We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
  2. On site, the fan is safely isolated.
  3. The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
  4. A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
  5. We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

Get a fixed quote

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

When to call us in Eridge Green

Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.

Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A dead fan motor
  • An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
  • An extract fan that rattles or knocks
  • A whining or grinding extract motor

Fan failures around Eridge Green do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

Before booking anyone

  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures

Our hiring checklist

How the job changes from site to site

Fan controls

We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start isn’t always a failed motor.

Direct-drive fans

Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we’ll talk you through it.
