When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in South Weald
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you’re dealing with a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan rattling in its housing, we can help, from fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans onwards.
For a fan repair in or near South Weald, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Part by part
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.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to South Weald can be planned properly.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

When to call us in South Weald
Kitchen extract fans in South Weald face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A dead fan motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in South Weald, can seize between uses.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
South Weald: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in South Weald?
In South Weald, it’s Brentwood council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Will you come out to South Weald?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and South Weald is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
