Extract fan repair in Radwinter
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Typical jobs include a dead fan motor and a fan rattling in its housing, on fan motors, belts and pulleys and fan housings.
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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Radwinter is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.

What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
When a fan fails in Radwinter
Kitchens in Radwinter get their food hygiene inspections from Uttlesford council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We cover Radwinter, about 40 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere around Radwinter, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Radwinter Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What else we do in Radwinter
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like Radwinter, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Radwinter gets to the real cause. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
