Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
About our extract fan repair in Latton
Across Latton, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Common call-outs are for a fan rattling in its housing and a worn or slipping fan belt, across fan housings, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
A callout to a small place like Latton 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common problems we fix in Latton
Kitchen extract fans in Latton face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A worn or slipping fan belt
For school kitchens, at schools like Church Langley Community Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What extract fan repair cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- 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 ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Latton
In Latton, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. Somewhere as small as Latton, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Latton knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Latton is about 21 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Latton get their food hygiene inspections from Harlow council.

Latton: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Latton?
That’s Harlow council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Latton. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can the work in Latton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Latton can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How long will the fan be out of action?
As a guide, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
