Extract fan repair in Nevendon
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. If you’re dealing with a dead fan motor and an old fan that needs replacing, we can help.
A callout to a small place like Nevendon goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Nevendon, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Common problems we fix in Nevendon
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Abacus Primary School, rather than mid-term.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Nevendon
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Nevendon and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
Why act early in Nevendon
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. A planned visit to Nevendon is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Nevendon can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Nevendon?
Food hygiene inspections in Nevendon are carried out by Basildon council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.

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, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
