Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Boughton Green
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. If you have a worn or slipping fan belt and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can put it right.
For a fan repair in or near Boughton Green, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the quote in Boughton Green
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Boughton Green
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Planning a trip to Boughton Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Boughton Green
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Boughton Green at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Boughton Green is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can the work in Boughton Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Boughton Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Extract fans in Boughton Green
Look up Boughton Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 19 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 14 takeaways across Boughton Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Kitchens in Boughton Green get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Boughton Green, about 33 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Boughton Monchelsea Primary School, rather than mid-term. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Coxheath Congregational Church or elsewhere in Boughton Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What else we do in Boughton Green
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere like Boughton Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- 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 the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
