Brasted questions
Who inspects food businesses in Brasted?
Kitchens in Brasted are inspected by Sevenoaks 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.
Can the work in Brasted be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
About our extract fan repair in Brasted
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. Typical jobs include a fan that keeps cutting out and poor airflow at the canopy, across bearings, belts and pulleys and fan motors.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, with parking and lifting to arrange in Brasted. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work

What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Brasted gets to the real cause. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

What extract fan repair looks like in Brasted
Food Standards Agency records list about 15 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways in Brasted and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Brasted are the job of Sevenoaks council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. A failed fan in a London kitchen usually means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Combe Bank School, rather than mid-term.

Common problems we fix in Brasted
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A motor that trips out or overheats
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Martin, or anywhere in Brasted, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Brasted saves time on the night.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
