Extract fan repair in Sandhurst: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Sandhurst are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority. Sandhurst, about 43 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Sandhurst Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Sandhurst is about 11 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. From the centre of Sandhurst to the outskirts, extract fan repair is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent, large and small. Maidstone is in our area too, about 17 miles from Sandhurst.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Sandhurst
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
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
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sandhurst
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Sandhurst at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Sandhurst is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Are you accredited?
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.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.

Advice
Signs you need extract fan repair in Sandhurst
In Sandhurst, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Mission Church or elsewhere in Sandhurst, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
How we price extract fan repair

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
