What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Extract fan repair in Roser's Cross
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is 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 belts and pulleys, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan shaking on its mountings.
A callout to a small place like Roser's Cross goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
