About our extract fan repair in Eyhorne Street
Wherever your kitchen is in Eyhorne Street, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. We are often asked to deal with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a fan shaking on its mountings, on fan housings, roof and wall fans and bearings.
For a fan repair in or near Eyhorne Street, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. A fault that closes a site in a village like Eyhorne Street affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Extract fan repair in Eyhorne Street: local notes
There are about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Eyhorne Street, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. We cover Eyhorne Street, about 35 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in Eyhorne Street get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Eyhorne Street, can seize between uses. If you manage a school such as Hollingbourne Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Eyhorne Street is about 4 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. Every kind of commercial site in Eyhorne Street, extract fan repair is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Eyhorne Street is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for extract fan repair.

Near you in Eyhorne Street
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Glyder House Sugar Loaves Public House and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Eyhorne Street itself: Hollingbourne station. A little further out are KIMS hospital (3.6 miles north-west) and Leeds Castle (0.9 miles south). For a walk, there’s Detling Hill.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Report new noises from the fan early
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off.

Related advice
Eyhorne Street: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Eyhorne Street?
The local authority for Eyhorne Street is Maidstone council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can the work in Eyhorne Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, including testing. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Eyhorne Street
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.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Eyhorne Street
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A motor that trips out or overheats
If you run a café or takeaway near Hollingbourne station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
