What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.

The work covers fan motors, kitchen extract fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are an overheating extract motor and an extract fan that has stopped working.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a place like Flackwell Heath are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting 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.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. A site near Flackwell Heath that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we will explain why.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Flackwell Heath and across Buckinghamshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Flackwell Heath
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An overheating extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Flackwell Heath, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Questions to ask before booking

Extract fans in Flackwell Heath
There are about 28 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Flackwell Heath, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. About 27 miles out from central London, Flackwell Heath is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Flackwell Heath, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Juniper Hill School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
