Why it’s worth doing now in Hill Green
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hill Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Every job surveyed first
- Fully insured

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Common questions in Hill Green
Can you come to Hill Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Hill Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Hill Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hill Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
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 on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Hill Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What affects the quote in Hill Green

- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
