Questions from Cop Street
Can you work in Cop Street outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Cop Street can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Cop Street at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Cop Street is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Typically, a fan repair takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that’s likely to be.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Extract fan repair in Cop Street
Across Cop Street, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. Common call-outs are for a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, across fan motors, fan housings and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Cop Street, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Cop Street
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Cop Street, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Cop Street and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What else we do in Cop Street
What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is, Cop Street included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. 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 send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Advice
What extract fan repair looks like in Cop Street
Kitchens in Cop Street get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you manage a school such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
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.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
