Part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
How we handle extract fan repair in Heart's Delight
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you have a whining or grinding extract motor and poor airflow at the canopy, we can help, from fan housings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Heart's Delight, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bearings

Common problems we fix in Heart's Delight
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that will not start is not always a dead motor.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An old fan that needs replacing
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Barham Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
FAQs for Heart's Delight
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Heart's Delight out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Heart's Delight is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you cover smaller places like Heart's Delight?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
