How we handle extract fan repair in North Aston
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. Typical jobs include an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a failed fan that needs a replacement, on fan housings, kitchen extract fans and fan motors.
A callout to a small place like North Aston goes better when we know what we are looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in North Aston
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like North Aston.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Your questions about extract fan repair in North Aston
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in North Aston out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in North Aston are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work overnight in North Aston?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in North Aston needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will arrange a diagnosis.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. If the system at a site near North Aston fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
