How we handle extract fan repair in Durrant Green
Across Durrant Green, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. If you have weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can put it right.
In a small place like Durrant Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why act early in Durrant Green
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Extract fan repair around Durrant Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Durrant Green. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Durrant Green is about 44 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Durrant Green. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.

What else we do in Durrant Green
What we are called out for in Durrant Green
In Durrant Green, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A worn or slipping fan belt
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Michael's Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

FAQs for Durrant Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Durrant Green?
The local authority for Durrant Green is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. 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 Durrant Green at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Durrant Green can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that is likely to be.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
