How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How we handle extract fan repair in George Green
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. If you’re dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like George Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area

Signs you need extract fan repair in George Green
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in George Green or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
For school kitchens, at schools like Wexham Court Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

George Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like George Green?
Yes. George Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to George Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in George Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain why.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
