Extract fan repair in Woodchurch
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. We are often asked to deal with a fan rattling in its housing and poor airflow at the canopy, across kitchen extract fans, fan motors and belts and pulleys.
Somewhere as small as Woodchurch, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Woodchurch
Wherever the kitchen is, Woodchurch included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. In a place like Woodchurch, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Woodchurch questions
Do you work in villages like Woodchurch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Woodchurch?
Food hygiene inspections in Woodchurch are carried out by Ashford council. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then give you a fixed quote.
What if our extract fan fails during service?
We provide a 24/7 emergency callout. Cooking without working extraction is not sensible, and we will aim to get it going again.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. In a small place like Woodchurch, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
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.
What affects the quote in Woodchurch
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. About 48 miles out from central London, Woodchurch is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
For school kitchens, at schools like Woodchurch Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We’ll tell you if that is what we find and explain what we found.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
