The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Steep Marsh.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for 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 any work starts.
Advice
About our extract fan repair in Steep Marsh
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Common call-outs are for a fan rattling in its housing and a squealing belt on start-up, across fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For extract fan repair in Steep Marsh, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Steep Marsh: your questions answered
Can the work in Steep Marsh be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Steep Marsh doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Steep Marsh?
Yes. Steep Marsh is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, including testing. We plan the work around your service wherever we can.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
