How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. For a village or hamlet like East Studdal, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

East Studdal questions
Who inspects food businesses in East Studdal?
In East Studdal, it’s Dover council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you come to East Studdal after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we will always say when repair makes sense.
What affects the quote in East Studdal
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bearings
- Fan housings

- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Managing agents and facilities teams in East Studdal
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When to call us in East Studdal
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near East Studdal Church Hall, or anywhere in East Studdal, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
