How we handle extract fan repair in Dallington
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers fan motors, fan housings and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan that whines, hums or grinds.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Dallington
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Dallington Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Why act early in Dallington
Wherever the kitchen is, Dallington included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Planning a trip to Dallington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why Dallington businesses choose us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We diagnose before we treat
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Dallington can be planned properly.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings

Dallington questions
Can the work in Dallington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Dallington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Dallington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Dallington included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
