How we handle extract fan repair in Perry Green
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are a belt-driven fan that squeals and an overheating extract motor.
In a small place like Perry Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Perry Green.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Perry Green
Kitchen extract fans in Perry Green face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for any of the following:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you manage a school such as Alec Hunter Academy and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Perry Green
Who inspects food businesses in Perry Green?
That’s Braintree council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Perry Green. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you come to Perry Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Perry Green needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
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 before recommending a unit.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
