Questions from Troy Town
Which environmental health team covers Troy Town?
That’s Sevenoaks council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Troy Town. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Troy Town?
Day or night, a failed fan in Troy Town can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service where possible.
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.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Common problems we fix in Troy Town
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that will not start at all
- An overheating extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
For kitchens in and around Troy Town, our emergency line runs 24/7.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Leave it or put it right?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Troy Town rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.

Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced or our accreditations and certificates.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: 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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
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.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like Troy Town, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
