About our extract fan repair in Courtsend
Wherever your kitchen is in Courtsend, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. The work covers belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a squealing belt on start-up and a fan that won’t start at all.
In a village or hamlet like Courtsend, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Leave it or put it right?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. It’s simpler to plan the work at Courtsend now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why book with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Full insurance on every job
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
FAQs for Courtsend
Does the sea air around Courtsend make a difference to extract fan repair?
It can. Courtsend is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Courtsend at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Courtsend is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we will talk you through what’s involved.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
