About our extract fan repair in Broadstone
Across Broadstone, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. Common call-outs are for a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, on kitchen extract fans, fan motors and bearings.
In a village or hamlet like Broadstone, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Broadstone questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Broadstone?
The local authority for Broadstone is Maidstone council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you come to Broadstone after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Broadstone doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. 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 on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Broadstone run smoothly.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

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.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans

Other services in Broadstone
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Broadstone and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What staff can safely do
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

We cover Broadstone, about 39 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Broadstone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation.
