Extract fan repair in Jacobs Well
Across Jacobs Well, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. Typical jobs include a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan shaking on its mountings, on belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a small place like Jacobs Well goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
