Extractor fan repair in St Ann's Green
We cover St Ann's Green for repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in St Ann's Green before we set off.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- 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.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Extract fan repair in St Ann's Green
Working on a fan in St Ann's Green means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. The work covers fan motors, fan housings and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and a humming noise from the fan motor.
In a small place like St Ann's Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Common problems we fix in St Ann's Green

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
What affects the quote in St Ann's Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
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’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in St Ann's Green
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in St Ann's Green gets to the real cause. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to St Ann's Green is calmer for everyone.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
