Kent · Extract fan repair and replacement
Eastling extract fan repair
We cover Eastling for repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan that will not start at all
Leave it or put it right?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Eastling rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

Extract fan repair in Eastling
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers fan housings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
For a fan repair in or near Eastling, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common questions in Eastling
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Eastling?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Eastling is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Will you come out to Eastling?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Eastling is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we will explain why.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Eastling before we set off.
- 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.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What extract fan repair looks like in Eastling
Eastling, about 42 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Eastling. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
For school kitchens, at schools like Eastling Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Eastling
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract fan that has stopped working
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Eastling, can seize between uses.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
What affects the quote in Eastling
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
