How we handle extract fan repair in Great Saling
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. If you have a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, fan housings and fan motors onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Great Saling, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair

- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Great Saling
Fans everywhere, Great Saling included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan rattling in its housing
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St James or elsewhere in Great Saling, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Somewhere like Great Saling, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers

Why act early in Great Saling
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. A planned visit to Great Saling is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Can you work in Great Saling outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Great Saling keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
