Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Sellindge
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you are dealing with a humming noise from the fan motor and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan motors onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Sellindge, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
Extract fans in Sellindge
Environmental health officers from Folkestone and Hythe council inspect food businesses in Sellindge. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. About 55 miles out from central London, Sellindge is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary, or anywhere around Sellindge, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Sellindge knowing what to expect.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Common problems we fix in Sellindge
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that won’t start isn’t always a dead motor.
Look out for any of the following:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A squealing belt on start-up
If you manage a school such as Sellindge Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Sellindge

Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sellindge
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 on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. A fault that closes a site in a village like Sellindge affects everyone who depends on it.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Sellindge
Do you work at weekends in Sellindge?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Sellindge?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sellindge included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
