How we handle extract fan repair in Hunsdon
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you have a worn or slipping fan belt and poor airflow at the canopy, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Hunsdon, 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. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, 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
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.

Common questions in Hunsdon
Who inspects food businesses in Hunsdon?
Kitchens in Hunsdon are inspected by East Hertfordshire council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Hunsdon at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Hunsdon are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
A typical repair takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan including running the fan afterwards. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours wherever we can.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Extract fan repair around Hunsdon
Kitchens in Hunsdon get their food hygiene inspections from East Hertfordshire council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. At about 22 miles from central London, Hunsdon sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Francis Chapel or elsewhere in Hunsdon, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What happens if it’s left?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. A planned visit to Hunsdon is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Hunsdon
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A dead fan motor
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Hunsdon Junior Mixed and Infant School, rather than mid-term.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. The timing of a visit to Hunsdon is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
