What changes the price?
The same symptom can have different causes
Extractor pricing depends on whether the fault is electrical, mechanical or mainly an airflow restriction. Fan type, access, motor size, ducting and commercial duty can change the cost significantly.
Access
Built-in hoods, ceiling voids, rooftop fans and long duct runs can require more labour than an accessible wall fan.
Motor and controls
A simple switch fault costs less than a high-duty motor, speed controller or larger electrical component.
Ductwork condition
Poor extraction can continue after a fan repair if grease, damage, restrictions or discharge problems remain in the duct path.
What you pay for
A proper diagnosis before parts are changed
We check what the fan does on each speed, whether controls respond, whether the motor turns freely and whether the airflow path is restricted. The final quote reflects the failed component and the work needed to restore useful extraction.
- Fault assessment based on the actual symptom
- Explanation of the repair required
- Parts and labour requirements confirmed before the job proceeds
- Functional testing of the repaired system
- Clear advice when replacement may make more sense than a major repair
Our work
Repair work behind the price
Pricing depends on what we find inside the appliance or system. We work directly on the components, controls and cooling systems involved, then test the repaired function before the job is complete.
R
Repair or replace?
A domestic extractor can often be worth repairing when the fault is a switch, capacitor, bearing or replaceable motor. If the fan body is heavily damaged, parts are unavailable or a larger system has several major problems, we explain the options before expensive work proceeds.
Spend where it makes sense
Use the diagnosis to make the decision
Age alone does not decide whether a repair is worthwhile. We look at the failed component, overall condition, parts availability and the likely result of the repair before you decide.

Extractor Fan Repair pricing FAQs
Answers for customers comparing repair costs before booking.
How much does extractor fan repair cost in Durban?
Many domestic repairs fall between about R350 and R2,200+, depending on the fault, motor, controls and access. Larger commercial extraction systems are quoted after inspection.
Is cleaning included in an extractor fan repair?
If accessible grease or dust is directly affecting airflow, cleaning may form part of the work. Full commercial duct cleaning is a different scope and should be confirmed separately.
Can you price a commercial extractor from photos?
Photos help us understand the system, but larger ducted extraction usually needs site-specific assessment before a final repair quote is confirmed.
Can I send the fan model before booking?
Yes. Send the model number, photos and a description of the noise, speed or airflow problem on WhatsApp for better pre-visit guidance.
