How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Extract fan repair in Marsh Green

Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. If you’re dealing with a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan rattling in its housing, we can help, from fan motors, bearings and fan housings onwards.

For a fan repair in or near Marsh Green, 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.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:

  • Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
  • Report new noises from the fan early
  • Write down when the fan misbehaves
  • 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. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.

Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.

What extract fan repair looks like in Marsh Green

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Marsh Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. At about 23 miles from central London, Marsh Green sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Marsh Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Marsh Green Mission Church or elsewhere in Marsh Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What affects the quote in Marsh Green

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

  • The times the site is available
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • What state the system is in

You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

What to send for a quote:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

If you need extract fan repair in Marsh Green, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Why deal with it now?

Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Planning a trip to Marsh Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Why book with us

  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • Every job surveyed first
  • We’re fully insured
  • A fixed price before any work starts

Questions from Marsh Green

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Marsh Green?

In Marsh Green, it’s Sevenoaks 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 there an emergency callout for extract fans in Marsh Green?

Day or night, a failed fan in Marsh Green can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.

What types of premises do you cover?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Which records should we keep?

Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

Do you provide a certificate or report?

Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

The process

The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Somewhere as small as Marsh Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
  2. Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
  3. Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
  4. You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
  5. The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.

How to prepare

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

How to get a quote

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
