Extract fan repair in Wrotham, done properly
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and an overheating extract motor.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Wrotham
Do you cover Wrotham for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Wrotham is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you work in Wrotham outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Wrotham needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Most fan jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, including testing. We plan the work around your service where possible.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain why.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wrotham
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. In a small place like Wrotham, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Wrotham before we set off.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we’ll explain why.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
What extract fan repair looks like in Wrotham
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wrotham. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. In Wrotham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council. 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. Wrotham is about 22 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
For school kitchens, at schools like Wrotham School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Do you need extract fan repair in Wrotham?
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that won’t start is not always a dead motor.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St George, or anywhere in Wrotham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
