Colliers Green extract fan repair
We cover Colliers Green for extract fan repair and replacement. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why it’s worth doing now in Colliers Green

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Common problems we fix in Colliers Green
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
For school kitchens, at schools like Colliers Green Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician

Your questions about extract fan repair in Colliers Green
Who inspects food businesses in Colliers Green?
That’s Tunbridge Wells council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Colliers Green. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Is Colliers Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Colliers Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then give you a fixed quote.
Who do we call if the fan stops in the middle of cooking?
You can reach our emergency line day or night. Until the fan is running, think carefully about cooking without extraction, and we will aim to get it going again.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Colliers Green
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
