Extract fan repair in Little Parndon, done properly
Wherever your kitchen is in Little Parndon, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you are dealing with a knocking noise from the extract fan and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, fan motors and belts and pulleys onwards.
A callout to a place like Little Parndon is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Little Parndon.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same.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 start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Common problems we fix in Little Parndon
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Little Parndon Primary School, rather than mid-term.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
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 each one has its own record.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Little Parndon
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Little Parndon out of hours?
Little Parndon is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Will you come out to Little Parndon?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Little Parndon is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Why it’s worth doing now in Little Parndon
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. In a smaller place like Little Parndon, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
