A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Lye Green is about 26 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

Extract fan repair in Lye Green
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a squealing belt on start-up and an old fan that needs replacing.
In a small place like Lye Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. 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 part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lye Green.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.
Advice
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.

What else we do in Lye Green
What we are called out for in Lye Green
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you manage a school such as Brushwood Junior School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
FAQs for Lye Green
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Lye Green?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Lye Green is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Lye Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Lye Green are carried out by Buckinghamshire council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will arrange a diagnosis.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
