What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. For a village or hamlet like Upper Winchendon, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.

Related advice
Extract fan repair in Upper Winchendon
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we will recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers fan housings, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
In a small place like Upper Winchendon, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. 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. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Do you work in villages like Upper Winchendon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.

Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.

How we price extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Why act early in Upper Winchendon
Wherever the kitchen is, Upper Winchendon included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
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.
