Extractor fan repair in Sinkhurst Green
We cover Sinkhurst Green for repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A dead fan motor
- An overheating extract motor
Why act early in Sinkhurst Green
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Planning a trip to Sinkhurst Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Extract fan repair in Sinkhurst Green, done properly
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. Common call-outs are for vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a dead fan motor, on fan motors, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys.
In a small place like Sinkhurst Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere as small as Sinkhurst Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan motors
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Sinkhurst Green and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

- A fan rattling in its housing
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Frittenden Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Questions from Sinkhurst Green
Can the work in Sinkhurst Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Sinkhurst Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Sinkhurst Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
