Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hedgerley
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings, and people most often call us about a worn or slipping fan belt and an extract fan that has stopped working.
In a small place like Hedgerley, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere as small as Hedgerley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload

FAQs for Hedgerley
Can you come to Hedgerley after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Hedgerley can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Hedgerley?
Day or night, a failed fan in Hedgerley can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair doesn’t make sense.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
What affects the quote in Hedgerley
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

When to call us in Hedgerley
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hedgerley, can seize between uses.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
