Extract fan repair in Hazeleigh
Across Hazeleigh, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and bearings, and the jobs we see most are a fan that won’t start at all and a knocking noise from the extract fan.
A callout to a small place like Hazeleigh goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hazeleigh
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hazeleigh.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
Different parts, different methods
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
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Why act early in Hazeleigh
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hazeleigh now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Hazeleigh: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Hazeleigh?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Hazeleigh keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Hazeleigh within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hazeleigh is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. 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.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What extract fan repair looks like in Hazeleigh
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Hazeleigh. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Hazeleigh are the job of Maldon council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. Hazeleigh, about 34 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Margaret, or anywhere around Hazeleigh, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. Fan failures around Hazeleigh do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.
