About our extract fan repair in Tiptree Heath
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Tiptree Heath, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. If you’re dealing with a belt-driven fan that squeals and poor airflow at the canopy, we can help.
In a small place like Tiptree Heath, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Tiptree Heath, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey

Extract fans in Tiptree Heath

Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Tiptree Heath are the job of Colchester council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
