Why it’s worth doing now in Brasted Chart
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

About our extract fan repair in Brasted Chart
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. We’re often asked to deal with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a worn or slipping fan belt, across kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. Noise and vibration are worth reporting before the fan stops.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Brasted Chart is normally out of hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote

Advice
What extract fan repair looks like in Brasted Chart
Food Standards Agency data counts about 16 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brasted Chart. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Brasted Chart get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange.
If a fan fails in Brasted Chart at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Brasted Chart questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Brasted Chart?
Day or night, a failed fan in Brasted Chart can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Who inspects food businesses in Brasted Chart?
Food hygiene inspections in Brasted Chart are carried out by Sevenoaks council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Common problems we fix in Brasted Chart
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Brasted Chart or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A dead fan motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Martin or elsewhere in Brasted Chart, can seize between uses.
