About our extract fan repair in Broad Oak
Wherever your kitchen is in Broad Oak, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. If you have weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a dead fan motor, we can help, from belts and pulleys, fan housings and fan motors onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What extract fan repair looks like in Broad Oak
Kitchens in Broad Oak get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. Broad Oak, about 48 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Brede Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St George, or anywhere around Broad Oak, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Common questions in Broad Oak
Can the work in Broad Oak be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Broad Oak can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Broad Oak?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broad Oak included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Typically, a fan repair takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If parts have to be ordered, we’ll tell you how long that is likely to be.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards.

- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare

How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broad Oak
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. It’s simpler to plan the work at Broad Oak now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
