What extract fan repair looks like in Hawbush Green
Look up Hawbush Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Hawbush Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. We cover Hawbush Green, about 38 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Hawbush Green get their food hygiene inspections from Braintree council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Hawbush Green, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Cressing Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you run a café or takeaway near Cressing station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

Extract fan repair in Hawbush 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. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Typical jobs include a whining or grinding extract motor and a fan rattling in its housing, across belts and pulleys, fan housings and fan motors.
Somewhere as small as Hawbush Green, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Planning a trip to Hawbush Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

What else we do in Hawbush Green
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Questions from Hawbush Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hawbush Green?
In Hawbush Green, it’s Braintree council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you work overnight in Hawbush Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Hawbush Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hawbush Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one

When something else is needed
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
