How we handle extract fan repair in Maltman's Hill
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. If you have a humming noise from the fan motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can help, from fan housings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Maltman's Hill, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Maltman's Hill
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A squealing belt on start-up
Fan failures around Maltman's Hill don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

Leave it or put it right?
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Planning a trip to Maltman's Hill ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere as small as Maltman's Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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 hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.

What else we do in Maltman's Hill
Maltman's Hill: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Maltman's Hill?
In Maltman's Hill, it’s Ashford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Is Maltman's Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Maltman's Hill is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What affects the quote in Maltman's Hill
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
