Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Eythorne
Working on a fan in Eythorne means switching the extract off first, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that has stopped working and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. For a village or hamlet like Eythorne, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
Why act early in Eythorne
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Questions from Eythorne
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Eythorne at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Eythorne is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you work in Eythorne outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Eythorne doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
When it’s something else
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Bearings

Extract fan repair in Eythorne: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Eythorne. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Eythorne are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you manage a school such as Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Do you need extract fan repair in Eythorne?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Eythorne, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
