What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Anvil Green
If an extract fan in Anvil Green is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and fan housings, and people most often call us about an extract fan that has stopped working and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork.
For a fan repair in or near Anvil Green, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Anvil Green: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Anvil Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Anvil Green are carried out by Canterbury City council. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you work overnight in Anvil Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Anvil Green keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do we need to close while you work?
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.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
When a fan fails in Anvil Green
It’s Canterbury City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Anvil Green. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. At about 52 miles from central London, Anvil Green sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Anvil Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Anvil Green is about 5 miles south-west of Wincheap, in Kent.

Local landmarks in Anvil Green
Typical jobs here are in premises near Compasses Inn and the streets around them. The closest station to Anvil Green is Chilham station, about 3.1 miles north-west. A little further out are Chilham Castle (3.5 miles north-west) and Kent and Canterbury Hospital (5.1 miles north-east).
What we’re called out for in Anvil Green
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A dead fan motor
Kitchens in Anvil Green can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere like Anvil Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Anvil Green
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Photo reports with every job
- Every job surveyed first

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
