Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Broom Street
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers fan motors, bearings and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
A callout to a small place like Broom Street goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Broom Street before we set off.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Extract fan repair in Broom Street: local notes
Sea air reaches Broom Street, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Kitchens in Broom Street get their food hygiene inspections from Swale council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. At about 46 miles from central London, Broom Street sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Broom Street, can seize between uses. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Graveney Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Common questions in Broom Street
Is Broom Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Broom Street is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Broom Street for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Broom Street is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
Why act early in Broom Street
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. In a small place like Broom Street, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
