How we handle extract fan repair in Uxbridge
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. We are often asked to deal with a humming noise from the fan motor and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, on fan motors, fan housings and belts and pulleys.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Uxbridge often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain the options.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Everything the job in Uxbridge needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Do you need extract fan repair in Uxbridge?
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that won’t start is not always a dead motor.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you manage a school such as Whitehall Junior School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Never run the extract with filters missing
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
When it’s something else
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
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
