Extract fan repair in Bredhurst, done properly
Kitchens in Bredhurst call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers belts and pulleys, bearings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a dead fan motor.
For a fan repair in or near Bredhurst, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. The timing of a visit to Bredhurst is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. If the system at a site near Bredhurst fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

Extract fans in Bredhurst
Food Standards Agency data counts about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops in Bredhurst and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Bredhurst, about 31 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Bredhurst are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Bredhurst, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Deanwood Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Bredhurst
Do you cover smaller places like Bredhurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Bredhurst?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Bredhurst is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
What your team can do, and what needs 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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
