Leave it or put it right?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. It’s simpler to plan the work at Newchurch now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What you get with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Every job surveyed first
- Each visit written up, with photos
- Trading since 2009

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Newchurch
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. Common call-outs are for vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a whining or grinding extract motor, across kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
In a small place like Newchurch, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor isn’t always to blame.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Newchurch, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system

Your questions about extract fan repair in Newchurch
Do you cover smaller places like Newchurch?
Yes. Newchurch 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.
Do you cover Newchurch for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Newchurch is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
How much time does a fan repair need?
As a guide, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Newchurch
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
