How we handle extract fan repair in Flishinghurst
Across Flishinghurst, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Typical jobs include an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a whining or grinding extract motor, across kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors.
In a small place like Flishinghurst, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out 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 have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Flishinghurst
Do you work at weekends in Flishinghurst?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Flishinghurst keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Flishinghurst?
That’s Tunbridge Wells council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Flishinghurst. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will arrange a diagnosis.
What affects the quote in Flishinghurst
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why act early in Flishinghurst
In Flishinghurst, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. In a place like Flishinghurst, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What else we do in Flishinghurst
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Flishinghurst run smoothly.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
