Extract fan repair and replacement in Frogham, Kent
Specialist extract fan repair for Frogham: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- An overheating extract motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that won’t start at all
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
How we handle extract fan repair in Frogham
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have a fan that won’t start at all and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Frogham, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan repair looks like in Frogham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Frogham, up to about a mile and a half out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Kitchens in Frogham get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you run a café or takeaway near Snowdown station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Nonington Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off.

- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
Why act early in Frogham
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

When to call us in Frogham
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 starts to vibrate and rattle.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Frogham, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What hours they’ll be on site

- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in

What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

FAQs for Frogham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Frogham?
In Frogham, it’s Dover council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Frogham out of hours?
Frogham is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair doesn’t make sense.
