Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Farningham
Wherever your kitchen is in Farningham, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. The work covers bearings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.
In a small place like Farningham, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Farningham
Do you cover smaller places like Farningham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Farningham included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Farningham after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Farningham needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Farningham
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
Why it’s worth doing now in Farningham
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. If the system at a site near Farningham fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.

Related advice
Do you need extract fan repair in Farningham?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dead fan motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul or elsewhere in Farningham, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
