When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve

About our extract fan repair in Culverstone Green
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, across fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Culverstone Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Extract fan repair around Culverstone Green
Look up Culverstone Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Culverstone Green. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Kitchens in Culverstone Green get their food hygiene inspections from Gravesham council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. About 22 miles out from central London, Culverstone 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.
If you manage a school such as Culverstone Green Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Why act early in Culverstone Green
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Report new noises from the fan early
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere like Culverstone Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Related advice
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we’ll talk you through it.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Culverstone Green
Do you work overnight in Culverstone Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Culverstone Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Culverstone Green out of hours?

What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
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 if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
