Extract fan repair in Hollybushes
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers fan motors, bearings and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a fan shaking on its mountings and a whining or grinding extract motor.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Common questions in Hollybushes
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Hollybushes at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Hollybushes is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you work at weekends in Hollybushes?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. A planned visit to Hollybushes is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.

What else we do in Hollybushes
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hollybushes before we set off.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice

Do you need extract fan repair in Hollybushes?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A dead fan motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A humming noise from the fan motor
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross, or anywhere around Hollybushes, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
