Extract fan repair in Hucking, done properly
Kitchens in Hucking call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers bearings, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are an old fan that needs replacing and a fan rattling in its housing.
A callout to a small place like Hucking goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy 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.
What happens if it’s left?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. A planned visit to Hucking is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hucking
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Questions from Hucking
Can the work in Hucking be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Hucking doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hucking?
Food hygiene inspections in Hucking are carried out by Maidstone council. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we’ll tell you the reasons.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- An extract system that was undersized from the start

- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A whining or grinding extract motor
For kitchens in and around Hucking, our emergency line runs 24/7.
