Extract fan repair in Sevenoaks Weald, done properly
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. If you are dealing with a fan rattling in its housing and an old fan that needs replacing, we can put it right.
For a fan repair in or near Sevenoaks Weald, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Sevenoaks Weald is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Honest limits
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Sevenoaks Weald questions
Do you work overnight in Sevenoaks Weald?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Sevenoaks Weald needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Sevenoaks Weald?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sevenoaks Weald is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we will explain why.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What extract fan repair looks like in Sevenoaks Weald
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Sevenoaks Weald and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Food hygiene inspections in Sevenoaks Weald are the job of Sevenoaks council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. About 22 miles out from central London, Sevenoaks Weald is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Weald Community Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St George or elsewhere in Sevenoaks Weald, can seize between uses.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Report new noises from the fan early
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Sevenoaks Weald gets to the real cause. A planned visit to Sevenoaks Weald is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
