Extract fan repair in Daniel's Water
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are an overheating extract motor and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
In a small place like Daniel's Water, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why act early in Daniel's Water
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s simpler to plan the work at Daniel's Water now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Report new noises from the fan early
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Daniel's Water questions
Who inspects food businesses in Daniel's Water?
Kitchens in Daniel's Water are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Daniel's Water at night?
Daniel's Water is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. The timing of a visit to Daniel's Water is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How we price extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
When it’s something else
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we will explain why.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
