In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
About our extract fan repair in Grafty Green
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Common call-outs are for weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan shaking on its mountings, on fan housings, bearings and fan motors.
In a small place like Grafty Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Extract fan repair around Grafty Green
Grafty Green is about 39 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in Grafty Green. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
For school kitchens, at schools like Platts Heath Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Grafty Green, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Why it’s worth doing now in Grafty Green
In Grafty Green, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. If the system at a site near Grafty Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Grafty Green questions
Can you get to a site in Grafty Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Grafty Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Grafty Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. For a village or hamlet like Grafty Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.

- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Part by part
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
