How we handle extract fan repair in Comp
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. We are often asked to deal with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a worn or slipping fan belt, across bearings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
Somewhere as small as Comp, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The report is your 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, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Leave it or put it right?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When a fan fails in Comp
Look up Comp on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Comp and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Comp are the job of Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. We cover Comp, about 24 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Comp, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. For school kitchens, at schools like Platt Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Comp is about 3 miles west of Kings Hill, in Kent. Comp gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. We cover 922 places across Kent, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Maidstone, about 8 miles away.
Work in TN15 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Close by, we work in Platt (1 mile north-west), Wrotham Heath (1 mile north-east), Crouch (1 mile south-west), Claygate Cross (1 mile south-west) and Borough Green (1 mile west). We also work in nearby towns such as Maidstone (8 miles east), Dartford (12 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (7 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (11 miles south), Gravesend (10 miles north) and Tonbridge (7 miles south-west).
Landmarks near Comp
In Comp, that means kitchens and buildings near The Blue Anchor pub and Wrotham School. The nearest railway station is Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 1.5 miles west. A little further out are Ightham Court (2.3 miles west) and Beechin Wood Archery Museum (within half a mile west).
How we price extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Comp
Can you come to Comp after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Comp keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Comp?
In Comp, it’s Tonbridge and Malling council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We’ll give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Comp.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
