About our extract fan repair in Guston
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Common call-outs are for a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan that keeps cutting out, on bearings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
For a fan repair in or near Guston, 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.
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’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Guston and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Questions from Guston
Is Guston within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Guston included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is extract fan repair any different in a coastal place like Guston?
It can, as Guston 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.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Why it’s worth doing now in Guston
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 is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. In a place like Guston, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
What extract fan repair looks like in Guston
At about 2 miles from the coast, Guston is close enough for sea air to matter. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways in and around Guston, 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. Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Guston. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you manage a school such as Duke of York's Royal Military 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 Guston?
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Guston or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An old fan that needs replacing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Martin of Tours or elsewhere in Guston, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What affects the quote in Guston
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
