Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
About our extract fan repair in Hudnall
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you’re dealing with a knocking noise from the extract fan and a fan that keeps cutting out, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, fan motors and belts and pulleys onwards.
Somewhere as small as Hudnall, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
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 have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Hudnall
Can the work in Hudnall be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Hudnall keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Hudnall out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Hudnall are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Most fan jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, including testing. We plan the work around your service wherever we can.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is, Hudnall included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Hudnall is calmer for everyone.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
