How we handle extract fan repair in Hook Green
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are an overheating extract motor and an extract fan that has stopped working.
In a small place like Hook Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere like Hook Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What else we do in Hook Green
When a fan fails in Hook Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways and sandwich shops in Hook Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. We cover Hook Green, about 19 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Hook Green get their food hygiene inspections from Dartford council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
For school kitchens, at schools like Sedley's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Hook Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Why act early in Hook Green
In Hook Green, 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. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Hook Green
Can you work in Hook Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Hook Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover Hook Green for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Hook Green are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What should go in our maintenance log?
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.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
