How we handle extract fan repair in Sandhurst Cross
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers fan housings, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
For a fan repair in or near Sandhurst Cross, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Sandhurst Cross
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Sandhurst Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Before you book anyone

- What records you will receive afterwards

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Sandhurst Cross and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Sandhurst Cross.
- 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.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we will talk you through what’s involved.

Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
