How we price extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
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.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Matching Tye.
- 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.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What else we do in Matching Tye
What happens if it’s left?
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. In a place like Matching Tye, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

FAQs for Matching Tye
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Matching Tye at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Matching Tye is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do you work at weekends in Matching Tye?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Matching Tye can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
