What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

About our extract fan repair in Flowers Green
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. If you have a worn or slipping fan belt and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys onwards.
Somewhere as small as Flowers Green, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Flowers Green and across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When a fan fails in Flowers Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Flowers Green. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Flowers Green, about 46 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. In Flowers Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Around Flowers Green, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line. For school kitchens, at schools like Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

What else we do in Flowers Green
Part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
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’ll talk you through it.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Flowers Green.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
What affects the quote in Flowers Green
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
