Why it’s worth doing now in Ivy Hatch
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Ivy Hatch rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- Photo reports with every job
- Fully insured
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

How we handle extract fan repair in Ivy Hatch
Wherever your kitchen is in Ivy Hatch, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. Typical jobs include a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a dead fan motor, on belts and pulleys, fan motors and roof and wall fans.
In a village or hamlet like Ivy Hatch, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What we do, step by step
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. From there, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Ivy Hatch and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common questions in Ivy Hatch
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Ivy Hatch at night?
Ivy Hatch is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can you get to a site in Ivy Hatch?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ivy Hatch is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we’ll say so and explain what we found.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
