Extract fan repair in Langdon Hills, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. If you’re dealing with a dead fan motor and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Langdon Hills often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When to call us in Langdon Hills
Fans everywhere, Langdon Hills included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A motor that trips out or overheats
For a takeaway near Laindon station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Part by part
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Langdon Hills, so let us know how to reach it.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What extract fan repair looks like in Langdon Hills
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 26 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 28 sandwich bars and takeaways in Langdon Hills and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Basildon council inspect food businesses in Langdon Hills. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. At about 23 miles from central London, Langdon Hills sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Langdon Hills, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Lincewood Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
