How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Mountnessing
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and bearings, and the jobs we see most are a squealing belt on start-up and a dead fan motor.
Somewhere as small as Mountnessing, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Mountnessing: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Mountnessing?
Yes, Mountnessing is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mountnessing?
In Mountnessing, it’s Brentwood council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Does the extract need to be off for a fan repair?
Yes, the extract has to be off while we work. Evening, overnight and weekend visits keep disruption down so service carries on as normal.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Mountnessing.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Extract fans in Mountnessing
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Mountnessing and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. At about 22 miles from central London, Mountnessing sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Brentwood council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mountnessing. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Mountnessing Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

- A humming noise from the fan motor
Around Mountnessing, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Mountnessing gets to the real cause. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
