Common reasons sites call us include:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan that won’t start at all
For kitchens in and around Quendon, our emergency line runs 24/7.

Extract fan repair in Quendon, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. If you’re dealing with a worn or slipping fan belt and a fan that keeps cutting out, we can put it right, from fan motors, fan housings and bearings onwards.
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 every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Quendon
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
How we price extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Quendon, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common questions in Quendon
Do you work overnight in Quendon?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Quendon does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Quendon?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Quendon is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
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.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
