Extract fan repair in Sheet's Heath
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. Common call-outs are for an old fan that needs replacing and a worn or slipping fan belt, on belts and pulleys, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a small place like Sheet's Heath goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we’ll say so and explain what we found.
What happens if it’s left?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.

- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive

- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
