About our extract fan repair in Kit's Coty
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you have vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a squealing belt on start-up, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Kit's Coty, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the quote in Kit's Coty
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Extract fan repair in Kit's Coty: local notes
There are about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways across Kit's Coty 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 29 miles out from central London, Kit's Coty is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Kit's Coty get their food hygiene inspections from Tonbridge and Malling council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Alban's Church, or anywhere in Kit's Coty, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Questions from Kit's Coty
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Kit's Coty out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Kit's Coty is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can you work in Kit's Coty outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Why act early in Kit's Coty
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. In a small place like Kit's Coty, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we’re called out for in Kit's Coty
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Kit's Coty or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An overheating extract motor
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Tunbury Primary School, rather than mid-term.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What hours they’ll be on site
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Somewhere like Kit's Coty, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
