Extract fan repair in Westfield
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you have a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a dead fan motor, we can put it right.
A callout to a place like Westfield is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so photos of the fan and its rating plate help.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we are called out for in Westfield
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A motor that trips out or overheats
If you manage a school such as Westfield Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- When the next visit should be, and why
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What happens if it’s left?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Around Westfield, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Westfield when you book.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
