Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Deerton Street
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. Common call-outs are for an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan that won’t start at all, on roof and wall fans, fan housings and fan motors.
A callout to a small place like Deerton Street goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
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, and we are fully insured.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.

What we are called out for in Deerton Street
Kitchen extract fans in Deerton Street face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A humming noise from the fan motor
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Proof of insurance
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Deerton Street can be planned properly.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
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.

Extract fans in Deerton Street
Deerton Street is within about 2 miles of the coast. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Look up Deerton Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Deerton Street. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Deerton Street. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary, or anywhere around Deerton Street, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Deerton Street
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- We are fully insured

Common questions in Deerton Street
Do you cover Deerton Street for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Deerton Street are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Deerton Street?
Food hygiene inspections in Deerton Street are carried out by Swale council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
How long will the fan be out of action?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
