Extract Fan Repair in Weavering
One call covers extract fan repair in Weavering: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An overheating extract motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

About our extract fan repair in Weavering
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about an overheating extract motor and a fan that won’t start at all.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Weavering often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain the options.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common problems we fix in Weavering
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that won’t start isn’t always a dead motor.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A worn or slipping fan belt
If you run a café or takeaway near Bearsted station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Common questions in Weavering
Which environmental health team covers Weavering?
Food hygiene inspections in Weavering are carried out by Maidstone council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you cover smaller places like Weavering?
Yes, Weavering is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
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.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
We isolate the fan for safety. We plan the visit around your hours to avoid losing a service.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. We plan the journey to Weavering and bring what the job is likely to need.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What affects the quote in Weavering
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
