Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hearnden Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a small place like Hearnden Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
