What affects the quote in Little Conghurst
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How we handle extract fan repair in Little Conghurst
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. Common call-outs are for a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan shaking on its mountings, on roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and fan housings.
For a fan repair in or near Little Conghurst, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Little Conghurst
Can you work in Little Conghurst outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Little Conghurst needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Little Conghurst?
Food hygiene inspections in Little Conghurst are carried out by Tunbridge Wells council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Little Conghurst.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Related advice
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

When a fan fails in Little Conghurst
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Little Conghurst. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Little Conghurst are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Little Conghurst, about 42 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Little Conghurst, can seize between uses.

When to call us in Little Conghurst
Fans everywhere, Little Conghurst included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An overheating extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A worn or slipping fan belt
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
