How we handle extract fan repair in Swift's Green
Across Swift's Green, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you are dealing with a squealing belt on start-up and an overheating extract motor, we can help, from belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans onwards.
In a small place like Swift's Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Swift's Green
Who inspects food businesses in Swift's Green?
Kitchens in Swift's Green are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Swift's Green at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Swift's Green can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. For a village or hamlet like Swift's Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.

What we’re called out for in Swift's Green
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that won’t start is not always a dead motor.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A humming noise from the fan motor
Fan failures around Swift's Green do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.
Questions to ask before you book
