Extractor fan repair in Hazelwood
Professional extract fan repair in and around Hazelwood, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hazelwood
Across Hazelwood, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that has stopped working and a worn or slipping fan belt, across roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and bearings.
For a fan repair in or near Hazelwood, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hazelwood
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to 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.

What else we do in Hazelwood
When a fan fails in Hazelwood
Look up Hazelwood on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hazelwood. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Hazelwood are the job of Bromley council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority. Hazelwood, about 14 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Hazelwood, can seize between uses. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Downe Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Hazelwood questions
Do you work overnight in Hazelwood?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Hazelwood needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Hazelwood?
Kitchens in Hazelwood are inspected by Bromley council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you work in Hazelwood?
Yes. We work in Hazelwood and across Kent, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Somewhere like Hazelwood, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
