Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Chainhurst
If an extract fan in Chainhurst is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers fan housings, belts and pulleys and fan motors, and people most often call us about an overheating extract motor and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.
A callout to a small place like Chainhurst 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Chainhurst
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We’ll tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Why act early in Chainhurst
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Chainhurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Chainhurst before we set off.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- 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
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Chainhurst questions
Who inspects food businesses in Chainhurst?
In Chainhurst, it’s Maidstone council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Chainhurst at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Chainhurst is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t 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 does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
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.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that’s one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
