- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork

What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Great Hollands gets to the real cause. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Extract fan repair in Great Hollands
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. If you’re dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan that keeps cutting out, we can put it right, from bearings, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys onwards.
For a fan repair near Great Hollands, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so photos of the fan and its rating plate help.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
When to call us in Great Hollands
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that won’t start isn’t always a dead motor.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Great Hollands Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Questions from Great Hollands
Will you come out to Great Hollands?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Great Hollands is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Great Hollands after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Great Hollands needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Great Hollands can usually be finished without a second trip.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Places near Great Hollands
Other services in Great Hollands
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
