About our extract fan repair in Fenn Street
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Fenn Street, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan housings and bearings, and the jobs we see most are a fan rattling in its housing and a failed fan that needs a replacement.
In a village or hamlet like Fenn Street, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
Why it’s worth doing now in Fenn Street
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- Trading since 2009
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Extract fans in Fenn Street
Sea air reaches Fenn Street, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fenn Street. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Fenn Street get their food hygiene inspections from Medway council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Fenn Street, can seize between uses. For school kitchens, at schools like High Halstow Primary Academy for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Fenn Street is about 5 miles north of Gillingham, in Medway.

Fenn Street questions
Does the sea air around Fenn Street make a difference to extract fan repair?
It can, as Fenn Street is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Which environmental health team covers Fenn Street?
In Fenn Street, it’s Medway council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?
Our emergency line is open 24/7. Ring us if the fan fails and we will organise an engineer.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Part by part
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
How we price extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
