Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Leeds
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. We’re often asked to deal with weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a belt-driven fan that squeals, across bearings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans.
In a village or hamlet like Leeds, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

When a fan fails in Leeds
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Leeds and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. We cover Leeds, about 35 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Food hygiene inspections in Leeds are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Nicholas's Church or elsewhere in Leeds, can seize between uses.
Leeds is about 4 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Leeds to the outskirts, extract fan repair is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. 922 places in Kent are on our list, large and small.
Work in ME17 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on Brogden Crescent, Forge Lane and Gloriette Avenue or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover the places around Leeds: Ashbank (1 mile north-east), Broomfield (1 mile east), Eyhorne Street (1 mile north-east), Chartway Street (2 miles south) and Kingswood (2 miles south-east).

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off.

- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Leeds
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
Part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
What we’re called out for in Leeds
Fans everywhere, Leeds included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Leeds
Can you work in Leeds outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Leeds needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Leeds?
Yes. Leeds is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
