How we handle extract fan repair in Nonington
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you’re dealing with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a failed fan that needs a replacement, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we will talk you through it.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Report new noises from the fan early
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a village like Nonington are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Questions from Nonington
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Nonington at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Nonington are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you work in Nonington outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Nonington can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
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 plan the two together.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we will talk you through what’s involved.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Why act early in Nonington
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. A planned visit to Nonington is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:

- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
