Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Wyatt's Green
Kitchens in Wyatt's Green call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. We are often asked to deal with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a knocking noise from the extract fan, on belts and pulleys, fan motors and bearings.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Related advice
Wyatt's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Wyatt's Green?
Yes. Wyatt's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Wyatt's Green?
Kitchens in Wyatt's Green are inspected by Brentwood council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Does the extract need to be off for a fan repair?
We isolate the fan for safety. We plan the visit around your hours to avoid losing a service.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wyatt's Green
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. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Extract fan repair in Wyatt's Green: local notes
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Wyatt's Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Wyatt's Green is about 21 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Wyatt's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Brentwood council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Wyatt's Green, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For school kitchens, at schools like Doddinghurst Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
Part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
How we price extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
