How we handle extract fan repair in Tendring Heath
Wherever your kitchen is in Tendring Heath, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Typical jobs include an extract fan that has stopped working and a squealing belt on start-up, on fan housings, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys.
A callout to a small place like Tendring Heath goes better when we know what we are looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What affects the quote in Tendring Heath
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tendring Heath
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Tendring Heath gets to the real cause. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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 talk you through it.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Tendring Heath.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Tendring Heath is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
