Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Mill Green
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. If you’re dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and a motor that trips out or overheats, we can help, from fan motors, bearings and belts and pulleys onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Mill Green, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is, Mill Green included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. With notice, the visit to Mill Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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 give you a fixed price before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Mill Green
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mill Green run smoothly.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Mill Green questions
Do you work at weekends in Mill Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Mill Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you get to a site in Mill Green?
Yes. Mill Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before we start.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
