Extract fan repair around Brompton
The coast is only about 2 miles from Brompton. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. There are about 167 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 91 sandwich bars and takeaways across Brompton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Medway council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brompton. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you manage a school such as Brompton-Westbrook Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. For a takeaway near Chatham station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Brompton Garrison Church, or anywhere in Brompton, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Brompton
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you’re dealing with a fan that won’t start at all and a fan rattling in its housing, we can put it right.
In a place like Brompton, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Fan housings

Common questions in Brompton
Does being near the coast affect extract fan repair in Brompton?
It can. Brompton is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can you work in Brompton outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Brompton needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How much time does a fan repair need?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. You will know more once we have found the fault.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Around Brompton, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Full insurance on every job
- We diagnose before we treat
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a place like Brompton, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
