Extract fan repair in Goathurst Common
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. We are often asked to deal with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, across belts and pulleys, fan housings and roof and wall fans.
In a small place like Goathurst Common, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Do you need extract fan repair in Goathurst Common?
In Goathurst Common, 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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A dead fan motor
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary at South End of Village Green, or anywhere around Goathurst Common, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Goathurst Common.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Goathurst Common
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. With notice, the visit to Goathurst Common can be fitted around your bookings and events.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Goathurst Common?
Goathurst Common is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Which council inspects kitchens in Goathurst Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Goathurst Common are carried out by Sevenoaks council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

We cover Goathurst Common, about 20 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.

A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Ide Hill Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.

- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing

What to send for a quote

- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
