Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Chalk
Kitchens in Chalk call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are an old fan that needs replacing and an overheating extract motor.
In a small place like Chalk, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Chalk
Does being near the coast affect extract fan repair in Chalk?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Chalk gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Is Chalk within the area you cover?
Yes. Chalk is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Extract fans in Chalk
Chalk lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. There are about 11 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 21 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Chalk, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Gravesham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chalk. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Thamesview School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Chalk is about 1 mile east of Gravesend, in Kent. Chalk gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Chalk among them. We also work in Maidstone, about 12 miles from Chalk.
We work across the DA12 postcode area for extract fan repair and the streets around it. If you need extract fan repair at premises on Chalk Road, Castle Lane and Orlick Road or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. If your site is just outside Chalk, we cover Upper Ifield (1 mile south), Thong (1 mile south), Shorne (1 mile south-east), Shorne Ridgeway (2 miles south-east) and Higham (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (12 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles south-east), Dartford (8 miles west), Sevenoaks (14 miles south-west), Northfleet (3 miles west) and Swanley (10 miles west).

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Chalk
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Why deal with it now?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. It’s simpler to plan the work at Chalk now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- We are fully insured
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

What we’re called out for in Chalk
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Chalk, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Before you book anyone

- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Chalk and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. 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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
