Do you need extract fan repair in Woodham Mortimer?
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Woodham Mortimer, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Extract fan repair in Woodham Mortimer
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. Common call-outs are for a knocking noise from the extract fan and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, on fan motors, bearings and belts and pulleys.
Somewhere as small as Woodham Mortimer, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
When something else is needed
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Woodham Mortimer and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. The timing of a visit to Woodham Mortimer is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Woodham Mortimer
Can you get to a site in Woodham Mortimer?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Woodham Mortimer after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Woodham Mortimer keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We’ll give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
