Extract fan repair in Long Green
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers fan motors, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a fan that keeps cutting out.
A callout to a small place like Long Green 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.
A written report with pictures follows every 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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Long Green
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Leave it or put it right?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Somewhere as small as Long Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Long Green knowing what to expect.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Extract fan repair around Long Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 31 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Long Green. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Long Green are the job of Braintree council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. Long Green is about 39 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
For kitchens close to Braintree Freeport station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Barnabas or elsewhere in Long Green, can seize between uses.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Long Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Long Green?
In Long Green, it’s Braintree council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you cover smaller places like Long Green?
Yes, Long Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we will talk you through what’s involved.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Typically, a fan repair takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
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 affects the quote in Long Green
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Common problems we fix in Long Green
In Long Green, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A dead fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Cressing Primary School, rather than mid-term.
