Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Shadoxhurst
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping 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 we start. Common call-outs are for a dead fan motor and a fan that keeps cutting out, across fan housings, bearings and roof and wall fans.
In a small place like Shadoxhurst, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Why deal with it now?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Shadoxhurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. In a small place like Shadoxhurst, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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 usually come back within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
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 typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.

Shadoxhurst: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Shadoxhurst?
Yes. Shadoxhurst is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Shadoxhurst be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Shadoxhurst does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that’s one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
