About extract fan repair in Kent

Across Kent, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan.

We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
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.
The work is done and the fan is tested running.

Extract fan repair around Kent

From Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury to its smaller places, every kitchen in Kent relies on a working extract fan. When a fan fails, our 24/7 emergency line is there.

London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in Kent, the work is done to the same TR19® standard. Parts of Kent are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.

Maidstone: Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as South Borough Primary School, rather than mid-term. For kitchens close to Maidstone West station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

Write down when the fan misbehaves
Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
Clean or change filters on schedule

Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.

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 Kent

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

A single visit or a regular plan
The times the site is available
Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whether several sites go on one quote

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

For extract fan repair in Kent, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.

Common problems we fix in Kent

In Kent, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

An extract fan that rattles or knocks
An extract fan that has stopped working
A squealing belt on start-up
An extract that vibrates through the ductwork

Part by part

Impellers and housings

Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.

Motors and bearings

If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Kent

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Kent: your questions answered

Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?

We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.

What happens to the waste?

We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

How much notice should we give?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?

We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.

What does TR19 mean?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
