Extract fan repair in Lions Green
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. Typical jobs include a fan that keeps cutting out and a belt-driven fan that squeals, across belts and pulleys, fan housings and fan motors.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Lions Green
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Lions Green before we set off.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Lions Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lions Green?
Yes. Lions Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Lions Green?
The local authority for Lions Green is Wealden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Report new noises from the fan early
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.

Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Lions Green
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An old fan that needs replacing
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Lions Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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. That is our job.
Extract fans in Lions Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Lions Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Lions Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. At about 41 miles from central London, Lions Green sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Kitchens in Lions Green can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.
