Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Mott's Mill
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan motors and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are a knocking noise from the extract fan and poor airflow at the canopy.
In a small place like Mott's Mill, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Questions from Mott's Mill
Which council inspects kitchens in Mott's Mill?
In Mott's Mill, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you cover smaller places like Mott's Mill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Mott's Mill is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that’s one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
What we are called out for in Mott's Mill
In Mott's Mill, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An old fan that needs replacing
If you manage a school such as Groombridge St Thomas' Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Comparing quotes

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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 can diagnose it and quote.

What extract fan repair looks like in Mott's Mill
About 30 miles out from central London, Mott's Mill is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Mott's Mill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Thomas the Apostle or elsewhere in Mott's Mill, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
