Extract fan repair in Marden's Hill
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. If you’re dealing with an extract fan that has stopped working and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can put it right.
A callout to a small place like Marden's Hill goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Marden's Hill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When a fan fails in Marden's Hill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Marden's Hill. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. At about 31 miles from central London, Marden's Hill sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Marden's Hill. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John's Church or elsewhere in Marden's Hill, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

When to call us in Marden's Hill
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An overheating extract motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St John's Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
