What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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.
About our extract fan repair in Molash
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. If you are dealing with a fan that won’t start at all and poor airflow at the canopy, we can help.
In a small place like Molash, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why it’s worth doing now in Molash
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s simpler to plan the work at Molash now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why Molash businesses choose us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fully insured
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A written report with pictures after every visit

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Molash, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Molash questions
Do you work at weekends in Molash?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Molash does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Molash at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Molash can be reported on our emergency line. 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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We will give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
