Hersden: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hersden?
Yes, Hersden is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you cover Hersden for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Hersden is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Extract fan repair in Hersden, done properly
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers fan housings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a belt-driven fan that squeals and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
Around a place like Hersden, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan cannot carry on cooking as normal. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Do you need extract fan repair in Hersden?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Hersden Village Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hersden
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
