Extract fan repair and replacement in Eastchurch, Kent
Extract fan repair across Eastchurch and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
What happens if it’s left?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. In a small place like Eastchurch, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- Photo reports with every job
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Full insurance on every job
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Eastchurch
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Eastchurch, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. If you have a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can put it right, from bearings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Eastchurch
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common questions in Eastchurch
Can you get to a site in Eastchurch?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Eastchurch is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Eastchurch?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
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.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.

How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Bearings
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Eastchurch before we set off.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What extract fan repair looks like in Eastchurch
Eastchurch lies within about 2 miles of the sea. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Eastchurch. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Eastchurch are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Eastchurch, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Eastchurch Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
