When to call us in Five Oak Green
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Five Oak Green Church, or anywhere in Five Oak Green, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

How we handle extract fan repair in Five Oak Green
Working on a fan in Five Oak Green means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you are dealing with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can put it right, from fan housings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Five Oak Green, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why act early in Five Oak Green
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

FAQs for Five Oak Green
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Five Oak Green?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Five Oak Green is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Who inspects food businesses in Five Oak Green?
That’s Tunbridge Wells council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Five Oak Green. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. For a village or hamlet like Five Oak Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Related advice
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the quote in Five Oak Green
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
