About our extract fan repair in Mulberry Green
Kitchens in Mulberry Green call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan rattling in its housing.
In a small place like Mulberry Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Mulberry Green: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Mulberry Green?
In Mulberry Green, it’s Colchester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Mulberry Green out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Mulberry Green is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Mulberry Green
In Mulberry Green, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An old fan that needs replacing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Mulberry Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What hours they’ll be on site

Part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Mulberry Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Mulberry Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Mulberry Green and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
