- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
How we handle extract fan repair in Upper Common
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that’s what we’ll recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you are dealing with a motor that trips out or overheats and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Upper Common, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too.

- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
Signs you need extract fan repair in Upper Common
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan that will not start at all
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A humming noise from the fan motor
Fan failures around Upper Common do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Why deal with it now?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Planning a trip to Upper Common ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
