Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Strood Green
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you have a motor that trips out or overheats and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Strood Green, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we’ll explain why.
Extract fans in Strood Green
Look up Strood Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Strood Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Strood Green are the job of Mole Valley council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. About 21 miles out from central London, Strood Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Strood Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Strood Green
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract fan that has stopped working
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like North Downs Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Somewhere as small as Strood Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Strood Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Strood Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Strood Green is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Strood Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Strood Green can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
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 together and easy to find.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Planning a trip to Strood Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
