Extract fan repair in Cheeseman's Green, done properly
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you’re dealing with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a fan rattling in its housing, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Cheeseman's Green, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Cheeseman's Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Extract fans in Cheeseman's Green
Look up Cheeseman's Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Cheeseman's Green. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Cheeseman's Green are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. About 51 miles out from central London, Cheeseman's Green is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.

Do you need extract fan repair in Cheeseman's Green?
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Cheeseman's Green or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
For school kitchens, at schools like Finberry Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

FAQs for Cheeseman's Green
Do you cover Cheeseman's Green for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Cheeseman's Green is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Cheeseman's Green?
That is Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cheeseman's Green. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
