Honest limits
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Extract fan repair in Walter's Green
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Typical jobs include a whining or grinding extract motor and a dead fan motor, on roof and wall fans, fan housings and kitchen extract fans.
Somewhere as small as Walter's Green, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What we’re called out for in Walter's 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 is a common source of rattles.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
For school kitchens, at schools like Fordcombe Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Before you book anyone
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of insurance
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When a fan fails in Walter's Green
In Walter's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. We cover Walter's Green, about 27 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Walter's Green, can seize between uses.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further.

- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
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.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
FAQs for Walter's Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Walter's Green?
That is Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Walter's Green. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Will you come out to Walter's Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Walter's Green is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
