Extract Fan Repair in Badlesmere
Extract fan repair for commercial sites in Badlesmere and across Kent. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Extract fan repair in Badlesmere, done properly
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we’ll recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you’re dealing with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can help.
In a small place like Badlesmere, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Badlesmere can be planned properly.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Related advice
Do you need extract fan repair in Badlesmere?
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that will not start is not always a dead motor.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you manage a school such as Sheldwich Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.

Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Badlesmere. 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.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere around Badlesmere, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.

Badlesmere questions
Can you come to Badlesmere after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Badlesmere doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Badlesmere at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Badlesmere can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Badlesmere and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
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.
