Extract fan repair in Jarvis Brook, done properly
Kitchens in Jarvis Brook call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and bearings, and common reasons people get in touch are a whining or grinding extract motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
For a fan repair in or near Jarvis Brook, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Jarvis Brook before we set off.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- 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
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Jarvis Brook
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A squealing belt on start-up
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Jarvis Brook Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Jarvis Brook
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. A fault that closes a site in a village like Jarvis Brook affects everyone who depends on it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

FAQs for Jarvis Brook
Can you work in Jarvis Brook outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Jarvis Brook does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Jarvis Brook?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Jarvis Brook included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How long will the fan be out of action?
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 does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will arrange a diagnosis.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls

Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
