Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Salford
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before work begins. We are often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan that won’t start at all, across bearings, fan motors and roof and wall fans.
In a small place like Salford, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Salford
Which environmental health team covers Salford?
Kitchens in Salford are inspected by West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you work in Salford outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Salford can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you work in Salford?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Salford.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Extract fans in Salford
In Salford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Chipping Norton School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Well-known places in the area include Wheelbarrow Castle (2.4 miles north-west) and Chipping Norton Museum of Local History (1.6 miles east).
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Salford
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit 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 Salford.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What affects the quote in Salford
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. If the system at a site near Salford fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Salford
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A dead fan motor
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Salford, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
