The work covers bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan that keeps cutting out.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bekesbourne before we set off.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Common problems we fix in Bekesbourne
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A whining or grinding extract motor
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Bekesbourne, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
What affects the quote in Bekesbourne
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is, Bekesbourne included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. In a place like Bekesbourne, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Questions from Bekesbourne
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Bekesbourne?
Extract fan emergencies in Bekesbourne are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you work overnight in Bekesbourne?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Bekesbourne keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we will talk you through it.
