Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hinxhill Park
Kitchens in Hinxhill Park call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Common call-outs are for an overheating extract motor and a failed fan that needs a replacement, on bearings, belts and pulleys and fan housings.
In a small place like Hinxhill Park, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

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 helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Also in Hinxhill Park
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
FAQs for Hinxhill Park
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hinxhill Park?
Kitchens in Hinxhill Park are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Hinxhill Park at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Hinxhill Park is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that is likely to be.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Why act early in Hinxhill Park
In Hinxhill Park, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. In a small place like Hinxhill Park, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Advice
Extract fan repair in Hinxhill Park: local notes
There are about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops across Hinxhill Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. About 50 miles out from central London, Hinxhill Park is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Hinxhill Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary, or anywhere around Hinxhill Park, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Hinxhill Park is about 2 miles east of Ashford, in Kent.

When to call us in Hinxhill Park
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
If you manage a school such as Willesborough Infant School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they recommend a next date
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
