Extract fan repair in New Ash Green, done properly
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. Typical jobs include a fan that won’t start at all and a fan that keeps cutting out, across fan motors, kitchen extract fans and bearings.
For a fan repair in or near New Ash Green, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What else we do in New Ash Green
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
Common questions in New Ash Green
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in New Ash Green out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in New Ash Green can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can you get to a site in New Ash Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, New Ash Green included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we’ll explain the options.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Do you need extract fan repair in New Ash Green?
In New Ash Green, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An overheating extract motor
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as New Ash Green Primary School, rather than mid-term.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near New Ash Green, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Clean or change filters on schedule
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Extract fan repair in New Ash Green: local notes

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
