Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Mackney
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Mackney, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. If you have a dead fan motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can put it right, from roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. 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 pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
What we are called out for in Mackney
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
Hall kitchens near Church of St Agatha, or anywhere around Mackney, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Mackney
Do you work at weekends in Mackney?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Mackney can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Mackney out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Mackney is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. 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.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault including running the fan afterwards. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours wherever we can.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
Extract fan repair in Mackney: local notes
Look up Mackney on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Mackney and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. About 46 miles out from central London, Mackney is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Mackney are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you manage a school such as Brightwell-Cum-Sotwell Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Mackney can be planned properly.
- 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.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
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, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
