Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why North Fambridge businesses choose us
- Trading since 2009
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
What affects the quote in North Fambridge
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to North Fambridge.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- 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.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Do you need extract fan repair in North Fambridge?
In North Fambridge, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you run a café or takeaway near North Fambridge station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

We cover North Fambridge, about 35 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In North Fambridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maldon council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.

Questions from North Fambridge
Do you work at weekends in North Fambridge?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in North Fambridge does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in North Fambridge at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in North Fambridge can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
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.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
