About our extract fan repair in Boughton Corner
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. We’re often asked to deal with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, across kitchen extract fans, fan motors and roof and wall fans.
A callout to a small place like Boughton Corner goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Questions from Boughton Corner
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Boughton Corner?
Kitchens in Boughton Corner are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you cover Boughton Corner for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Boughton Corner is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
When to call us in Boughton Corner
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Boughton Corner or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
What we are most often called out for:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A dead fan motor
If you cook near Wye station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere as small as Boughton Corner, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What else we do in Boughton Corner
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
Why act early in Boughton Corner
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Planning a trip to Boughton Corner ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Trading since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Every job surveyed first

Extract fans in Boughton Corner
Boughton Corner is about 49 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Boughton Corner get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. 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.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near All Saints’ Church or elsewhere in Boughton Corner, can seize between uses.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we will explain why.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
