How we handle extract fan repair in Maynard's Green
Kitchens in Maynard's Green call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are an old fan that needs replacing and a worn or slipping fan belt.
In a small place like Maynard's Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Maynard's Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Maynard's Green?
That’s Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Maynard's Green. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you work at weekends in Maynard's Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Maynard's Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is, Maynard's Green included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Why book with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Full insurance on every job
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
Do you need extract fan repair in Maynard's Green?
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Maynards Green Community Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a village like Maynard's Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
What affects the quote in Maynard's Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
