About our extract fan repair in Stambourne Green
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 won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. Common call-outs are for a squealing belt on start-up and an old fan that needs replacing, across kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan housings.
A callout to a small place like Stambourne Green goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Stambourne Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
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.
When to call us in Stambourne Green
Kitchen extract fans in Stambourne Green face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A humming noise from the fan motor
Around Stambourne Green, as anywhere, we look at why a fan failed as well as fixing it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
