Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hassell Street
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan motors and bearings, and the jobs we see most are an old fan that needs replacing and poor airflow at the canopy.
In a small place like Hassell Street, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
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.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hassell Street
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Why act early in Hassell Street
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Hassell Street
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that won’t start isn’t always a dead motor.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan that will not start at all
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
Around Hassell Street, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Hassell Street, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
