What extract fan repair looks like in Dean Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 17 takeaways across Dean Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. We cover Dean Street, about 31 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Dean Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you manage a school such as East Farleigh Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. For kitchens close to East Farleigh station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

About our extract fan repair in Dean Street
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
In a small place like Dean Street, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Dean Street: your questions answered
Can the work in Dean Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Dean Street keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Dean Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Dean Street included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before we start.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What happens if it’s left?
In Dean Street, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Planning a trip to Dean Street ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, 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. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Dean Street.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Dean Street
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
Common problems we fix in Dean Street
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Look out for any of the following:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of Saint Mary, or anywhere in Dean Street, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor isn’t always to blame.
