Extract fan repair in Yopps Green
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. The work covers bearings, fan housings and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a knocking noise from the extract fan and a fan that won’t start at all.
In a village or hamlet like Yopps Green, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Yopps Green: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Yopps Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Yopps Green are carried out by Tonbridge and Malling council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Yopps Green?
Extract fan emergencies in Yopps Green are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.

Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. We cover Yopps Green, about 23 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Yopps Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council.

When to call us in Yopps Green
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you manage a school such as Plaxtol Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of insurance
What happens if it’s left?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
