Repairs

A failed extraction system doesn't have to mean a closed kitchen

A kitchen that’s too hot, too noisy, or has an extraction fan tripping mid-service needs a fast, accurate diagnosis, not a guess. Our engineers fault-find fans, canopies, ductwork, and controls, and carry common parts on the van to fix issues on the first visit wherever possible.

Fixed on the first visit, wherever possible

Extraction faults rarely announce themselves clearly; a noisy fan, a hot kitchen, or an alarm that keeps tripping could have several possible causes. Our engineers are trained to fault-find systematically across fans, motors, belts, filters, ductwork and controls, rather than replacing parts speculatively.

Common parts are carried on the van, so straightforward faults can often be resolved in a single visit instead of a second trip once parts have been ordered.

Post-Repair Compliance Report

A written record of the fault and repair, ready for your insurer, landlord or Environmental Health Officer.

Signs your extraction needs attention

A few warning signs are worth acting on before they become a full breakdown: unusual noise or vibration from the fan, a kitchen that feels noticeably hotter than usual, visible grease staining around the canopy, or an extraction alarm that keeps tripping during service.

Catching these early with a fault-finding visit is almost always cheaper and less disruptive than waiting for a full failure mid-service.

FAQs

Repair questions, answered

How quickly can you respond to an extraction breakdown?
For urgent breakdowns we operate a 24/7 emergency call-out service and aim to have an engineer on site the same day wherever possible. Existing maintenance contract clients receive priority booking.
The most frequent causes are worn fan motors and belts, blocked or damaged filters, failed control components, and grease-blocked ductwork restricting airflow. A fault-finding visit identifies the actual cause rather than guessing.
This depends on the age, condition and compliance status of the system. We’ll always give an honest recommendation on survey, including whether a repair is a sensible short-term fix or a replacement makes more sense long-term.
Yes. Every repair visit is followed by a written fault report describing what was found and fixed, which can be provided to your insurer, landlord or Environmental Health Officer if requested.
