Kent · Extract fan repair and replacement
Godden Green extract fan repair
Extract fan repair in Godden Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that will not start at all
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
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 at a time that suits your service.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Extract fan repair in Godden Green, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. If you have weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and an overheating extract motor, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, fan housings and fan motors onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Godden Green, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. If the system at a site near Godden Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

- Every job surveyed first
- Fully insured

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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. That’s our job.

Extract fan repair in Godden Green: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 41 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways in Godden Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Godden Green, about 21 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Sevenoaks council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Godden Green. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Around Godden Green, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Sevenoaks Preparatory School, rather than mid-term.

Common questions in Godden Green
Do you work overnight in Godden Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Godden Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Godden Green?
Godden Green is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is 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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We will give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Godden Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Godden Green
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
