About our extract fan repair in Eddington
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. If you are dealing with a fan that keeps cutting out and poor airflow at the canopy, we can help.
A callout to a place like Eddington is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
In Eddington, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. A quieter site near Eddington still needs its system looked after.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us
- Photo reports with every job
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced and our accreditations and certificates.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Eddington
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
When a fan fails in Eddington
Eddington 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 81 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 34 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Eddington. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Eddington get their food hygiene inspections from Canterbury City council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For a takeaway near Herne Bay station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Martin or elsewhere in Eddington, can seize between uses. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Herne Bay High School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Eddington is about 1 mile south-west of Herne Bay, in Kent. Whatever kind of site you run in Eddington, we can take on extract fan repair. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, and Eddington is one of them. You can also see our page for Maidstone, roughly 27 miles from Eddington.

Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Fan motors

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Eddington when you book.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Eddington: your questions answered
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Eddington at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Eddington is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you work at weekends in Eddington?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
