Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Langley

- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Extract fan repair in Langley, done properly
Wherever your kitchen is in Langley, 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 a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow at the canopy and an old fan that needs replacing, on fan motors, bearings and roof and wall fans.
In a small place like Langley, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. The timing of a visit to Langley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading

Extract fan repair in Langley: local notes
Look up Langley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Langley, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in Langley. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. At about 34 miles from central London, Langley sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary, or anywhere around Langley, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

FAQs for Langley
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Langley?
That’s Maidstone council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Langley. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you cover Langley for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Langley is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When to call us in Langley
Fans everywhere, Langley included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
What we are most often called out for:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A dead fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Langley Park Primary Academy, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What extract fan repair can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is, Langley included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. In a place like Langley, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
