Extract fan repair in Bredgar, done properly
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a knocking noise from the extract fan and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts.
Somewhere as small as Bredgar, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that is what we find and explain what we found.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we are called out for in Bredgar
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Bredgar, can seize between uses.
What your quote should include

Other services in Bredgar
Extract fans in Bredgar
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Bredgar, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bredgar. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. About 37 miles out from central London, Bredgar is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you manage a school such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Bredgar
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard 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 start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Bredgar
- Fan motors

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere like Bredgar, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

FAQs for Bredgar
Do you work overnight in Bredgar?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bredgar needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bredgar?
Kitchens in Bredgar are inspected by Swale council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Is Bredgar in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Bredgar, within the South East and London area we cover.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
