Why act early in Tye Green

How we handle extract fan repair in Tye Green
Kitchens in Tye Green call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers bearings, fan motors and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a humming noise from the fan motor.
A callout to a small place like Tye Green goes better when we know what we are looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What else we do in Tye Green
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Tye Green.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Questions from Tye Green

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Tye Green?
The local authority for Tye Green is Braintree council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
