Extract fan repair in Hall's Green
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. Common call-outs are for weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a whining or grinding extract motor, across kitchen extract fans, fan housings and fan motors.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere like Hall's Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Your questions about extract fan repair in Hall's Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hall's Green?
That’s Sevenoaks council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hall's Green. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you cover smaller places like Hall's Green?
Yes, Hall's Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Hall's Green
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Weald Community Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
