Extract fan repair and replacement in Little Tey, Essex
Our technicians work in Little Tey on repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A whining or grinding extract motor
Part by part
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that won’t start isn’t always a failed motor.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Extract fan repair in Little Tey
Wherever your kitchen is in Little Tey, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan that has stopped working and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
In a small place like Little Tey, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Why act early in Little Tey
In Little Tey, 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. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Little Tey rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What we’re called out for in Little Tey
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
For school kitchens, at schools like Honywood Community Science School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Little Tey
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Little Tey?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Little Tey is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can you get to a site in Little Tey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
