Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Havering's Grove
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and an extract fan that has stopped working.
For a fan repair in or near Havering's Grove, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Do you need extract fan repair in Havering's Grove?
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you manage a school such as The Billericay School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Why act early in Havering's Grove
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. A proper diagnosis in Havering's Grove gets to the real cause. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why us?

How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Havering's Grove before we set off.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Havering's Grove
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- 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
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
