Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Boughton under Blean?
Boughton under Blean is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you get to a site in Boughton under Blean?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Boughton under Blean included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Why deal with it now?
In Boughton under Blean, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. With notice, the visit to Boughton under Blean can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

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 work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Boughton under Blean before we set off.
- 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.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
