Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.

FAQs for Cock Marling
Do you work overnight in Cock Marling?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Cock Marling can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Cock Marling?
In Cock Marling, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
When a fan fails in Cock Marling
Cock Marling lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. About 51 miles out from central London, Cock Marling is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Rother council inspect food businesses in Cock Marling. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Whether the kitchen is in Cock Marling itself or nearby, a fan is checked for grease, wear and damage before we recommend a repair or replacement.

What else we do in Cock Marling
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
When to call us in Cock Marling
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Fan failures around Cock Marling do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

Why act early in Cock Marling
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- We’re fully insured
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- We diagnose before we treat

How we price extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
