How we price extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Extract fan repair in Theale
Kitchens in Theale call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you have an extract fan that has stopped working and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can put it right.
In a place like Theale, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we will explain the options.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Theale
Part by part
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
What extract fan repair looks like in Theale
There are about 19 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Theale, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Theale, about 43 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Theale. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you cook near Theale station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Theale C.E. Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Theale questions
Do you work in villages like Theale?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Theale is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Theale?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Theale is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Your opening hours decide when we come to Theale, not ours.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Theale
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Theale gets to the real cause. A site near Theale that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Do you need extract fan repair in Theale?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Theale, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
