What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

What else we do in Rose Hill
What we’re called out for in Rose Hill
Fans everywhere, Rose Hill included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Rose Hill, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
- When the next visit should be, and why

Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Rose Hill is about 25 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Food hygiene inspections in Rose Hill are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.

Leave it or put it right?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Common questions in Rose Hill
Can you work in Rose Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Rose Hill?
The local authority for Rose Hill is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
The process
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere as small as Rose Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give 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, which is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
