Part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that’s the cause, we’ll say so so you know who to call.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
About our extract fan repair in Halstead
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. If you have an old fan that needs replacing and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Report new noises from the fan early
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.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Halstead
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Halstead
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. In a small place like Halstead, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Halstead
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An overheating extract motor
If you manage a school such as Halstead Community Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Halstead questions
Which environmental health team covers Halstead?
Food hygiene inspections in Halstead are carried out by Sevenoaks council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Is Halstead within the area you cover?
Yes. Halstead is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us.
