Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Extract fan repair in Paglesham Eastend
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you’re dealing with an old fan that needs replacing and a dead fan motor, we can help, from bearings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans onwards.
In a small place like Paglesham Eastend, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Paglesham Eastend questions
Is Paglesham Eastend within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Paglesham Eastend?
In Paglesham Eastend, it’s Rochford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Who do we call if the fan stops in the middle of cooking?
Our emergency line is open 24/7. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos at any time if the extract stops and we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
The process
On the day, we arrive 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 before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Paglesham Eastend.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What else we do in Paglesham Eastend
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Paglesham Eastend
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
