Extract fan repair in Tutt Hill
Working on a fan in Tutt Hill means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. If you have an extract fan that has stopped working and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can help.
In a small place like Tutt Hill, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

At about 45 miles from central London, Tutt Hill sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Tutt Hill. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The Hayesbrook School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Tutt Hill
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Tutt Hill?
Day or night, a failed fan in Tutt Hill can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tutt Hill?
Kitchens in Tutt Hill are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
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.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
