Advice
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Kirdford
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you are dealing with an old fan that needs replacing and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Kirdford, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What we’re called out for in Kirdford
In Kirdford, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An overheating extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan rattling in its housing
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Kirdford, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Comparing quotes
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Part by part
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.

Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.

Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
