Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Coneyhurst
Kitchens in Coneyhurst call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about an overheating extract motor and a fan that whines, hums or grinds.
In a small place like Coneyhurst, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on 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, ready for your insurer.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a small place like Coneyhurst, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that’s what we find so you know who to call.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
FAQs for Coneyhurst
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Coneyhurst at night?
Coneyhurst is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you cover smaller places like Coneyhurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, including testing. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that’s one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What affects the quote in Coneyhurst
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Do you need extract fan repair in Coneyhurst?
Kitchen extract fans in Coneyhurst face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for any of the following:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An overheating extract motor
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The Weald School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
