- An overheating extract motor
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
Different parts, different methods
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.
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.
Extract fan repair in Hawley, done properly
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. If you are dealing with a motor that trips out or overheats and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan motors onwards.
In a smaller place like Hawley, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
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.
Hawley: your questions answered
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Hawley?
Hawley is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hawley?
That’s Hart council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hawley. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

When a fan fails in Hawley
There are about 44 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 30 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Hawley, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. About 32 miles out from central London, Hawley is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Food hygiene inspections in Hawley are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. 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.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Hawley, can seize between uses. If you cook near Blackwater station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. For a place like Hawley, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Hawley
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Hawley Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
