Faults we repair
Specialist diagnosis for the whole exhaust system
A stopped fan is the symptom, not always the cause. We inspect the mechanical and electrical components so the repair addresses the actual fault.

Motor failure
Burnt-out, overheating, noisy or seized motors, including assessment for repair or replacement.
03
Broken or slipping belts
Worn belts, incorrect tension, pulley alignment issues and repeated premature belt failure.
04
Noise and vibration
Bearing wear, damaged impellers, loose mounts, imbalance and mechanical deterioration.
05
Low extraction
Fan speed, rotation, drive, controls and airflow issues causing smoke or heat to escape the canopy.

“We called Thai on a Saturday evening as our club's restaurant exhaust fans had stopped working. He was out the next day and replaced a capacitor so we were ready for lunch on Sunday. Great service!”Stephen Mitchell · Google review
Frequently asked
Before booking a repair
How much is a standard callout?
The standard callout is $275 + GST and includes diagnosis and the first hour of labour during normal hours. After-hours, Sunday and public-holiday rates are confirmed before attendance.
Can you attend after hours?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency response across Sydney, subject to technician availability and travel time. Call 0423 063 061 for the quickest response.
Will you repair the fan during the first visit?
Where the fault is repairable and suitable parts are available, we aim to restore operation as quickly as practical. Larger motors, complete fans or specialist components may require a return visit.
Do you repair more than exhaust fans?
Yes. We work on motors, belts, bearings, starters, VFDs, speed controls, make-up air systems, ESP equipment and associated interlocks.
Do you clean kitchen exhaust ductwork or canopies?
No. We provide mechanical and electrical inspection, maintenance and repairs. Grease cleaning should be completed by a specialist commercial exhaust cleaning contractor.
What areas do you service?
We service Sydney Metro, including the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, Western Sydney and surrounding areas. We also service Wollongong and the Illawarra.
Help us prepare for your exhaust repair
When requesting a repair, tell us your suburb, what the system is doing and whether the kitchen is currently operating. Useful details include when the problem started, any displayed alarm and whether the fan is stopped, noisy or running with poor extraction.
If existing equipment photos or service records are available, send them after your enquiry. You do not need to open a control panel, climb onto a roof or remove a guard to provide information. A description of the symptoms is a useful starting point.
Diagnosis first, then the practical repair options
A repair enquiry does not commit you to replacing the whole fan. The assessment should establish which part has failed and what further work is needed. Ask for the findings, the proposed scope and any parts or access requirements before deciding how to proceed.
Where a component can be repaired or replaced within the agreed scope, the next step can be explained clearly. Where additional equipment or specialist parts are needed, the repair plan should identify that dependency. Attendance and completion timing must be confirmed for the particular job.

Exhaust stopped during service?
Tell us what stopped, whether there is a displayed fault and how the problem is affecting the kitchen. We can use those details to discuss the next step and confirm attendance options for your location.
Do not repeatedly reset a tripping device, change drive settings or bypass an interlock to keep the kitchen operating. Where equipment appears unsafe, follow the venue's emergency procedures and seek appropriate assistance. This enquiry module is not permission to keep operating a faulty system.
Call to discuss urgent attendance
Can you tell me whether I need a new motor before attending?
Symptoms help guide an assessment, but a replacement decision needs evidence about the equipment and fault. Send any existing equipment information and the displayed alarm with your enquiry.
What if the fan runs but the kitchen is still smoky?
Describe when the problem occurs and any recent changes to the kitchen or equipment. Request a fault assessment rather than assuming that a larger motor will resolve it.
Can the drive be reset or bypassed?
Do not bypass equipment controls or interlocks to restore operation. Ask for diagnosis of the fault and the connected system.
Can I send photos?
Send existing, safely obtained photos and equipment details through the contact process. Do not access hazardous areas or open electrical enclosures to obtain them.
