- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that won’t start at all
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Extract fan repair in Southend, done properly
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. Common call-outs are for a humming noise from the fan motor and a belt-driven fan that squeals, on kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings.
For a fan repair in or near Southend, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Other services in Southend
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Southend: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Southend?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Southend?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Southend is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much time does a fan repair need?
As a guide, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that is likely to be.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Southend
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like Southend, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Extract fans in Southend
Southend is about 60 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Southend. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Newtown Soberton Infant School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Southend is about 5 miles north-west of Waterlooville, in Hampshire. Southend gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Southend is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. We also work in Portsmouth, about 8 miles from Southend.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What we are called out for in Southend
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Southend, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What insurance they carry
