That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We cover Toppesfield, about 44 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.

Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Toppesfield
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
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 can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. With notice, the visit to Toppesfield can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere as small as Toppesfield, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
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 so you know the cost before work begins.

The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Report new noises from the fan early
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
