About our extract fan repair in Brogdale
Across Brogdale, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. The work covers bearings, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a dead fan motor and a whining or grinding extract motor.
For a fan repair in or near Brogdale, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Leave it or put it right?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

- We diagnose before we treat

Extract fan repair in Brogdale: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 16 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Brogdale. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. At about 44 miles from central London, Brogdale sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Brogdale. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Brogdale, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Brogdale
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that won’t start is not always a dead motor.
Look out for any of the following:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Ospringe Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Questions from Brogdale
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Brogdale?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Brogdale is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can you work in Brogdale outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Brogdale can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If parts have to be ordered, we’ll tell you how long that’s likely to be.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Brogdale
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Brogdale, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
