Your questions about extract fan repair in Hazel Street
Can you come to Hazel Street after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Hazel Street needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Hazel Street at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Hazel Street is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we’ll explain the options.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
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 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 so there are no surprises.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How long will the fan be out of action?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We’ll give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
About our extract fan repair in Hazel Street
Kitchens in Hazel Street call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings, and people most often call us about poor airflow at the canopy and an extract fan that has stopped working.
Somewhere as small as Hazel Street, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor is not always to blame.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
What happens if it’s left?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hazel Street affects everyone who depends on it.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

When a fan fails in Hazel Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hazel Street. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Hazel Street are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. About 34 miles out from central London, Hazel Street is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Horsmonden Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Hazel Street, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Hazel Street is about 7 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent.

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hazel Street.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What else we do in Hazel Street
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
