What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Extract fan repair in Lower Farringdon, done properly
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, 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. Typical jobs include a fan that keeps cutting out and a squealing belt on start-up, on roof and wall fans, fan motors and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Farringdon, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lower Farringdon
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Lower Farringdon run smoothly.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. With notice, the visit to Lower Farringdon can be fitted around your bookings and events.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

What we’re called out for in Lower Farringdon
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Lower Farringdon, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Common questions in Lower Farringdon
Will you come out to Lower Farringdon?
Yes, Lower Farringdon is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Lower Farringdon at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Lower Farringdon are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain why.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we’ll say so so you know who to call.
