Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Feering
If an extract fan in Feering is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a humming noise from the fan motor.
For a fan repair in or near Feering, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
What extract fan repair looks like in Feering
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Feering. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Feering get their food hygiene inspections from Braintree council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. At about 42 miles from central London, Feering sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Feering Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. Hall kitchens near Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Feering, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

What else we do in Feering
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Feering questions
Can you work in Feering outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Feering needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Feering?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Feering is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then send you a fixed quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What about areas you cannot get to?
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.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Feering
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that is a common source of rattles.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you run a kitchen close to Kelvedon station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
