When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan housings and bearings, and the jobs we see most are an old fan that needs replacing and poor airflow at the canopy.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Fyfield
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Fyfield?
In Fyfield, it’s Epping Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Fyfield out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Fyfield are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we’ll tell you the reasons.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like Fyfield, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
If you need extract fan repair in Fyfield, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
When to call us in Fyfield
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan shaking on its mountings
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Fyfield, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fyfield
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you are busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
