What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Finglesham
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers fan housings, belts and pulleys and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a motor that trips out or overheats and a squealing belt on start-up.
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.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Finglesham questions
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Finglesham at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Finglesham can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can you get to a site in Finglesham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Finglesham included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Finglesham
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
How we price extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What we’re called out for in Finglesham
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St George, or anywhere in Finglesham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Extract fan repair in Finglesham: local notes
Finglesham lies within about 3 miles of the sea. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food hygiene inspections in Finglesham are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Northbourne Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Finglesham
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. In a place like Finglesham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
