In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Extract fan repair in Haine
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an old fan that needs replacing and a humming noise from the fan motor.
A callout to a small place like Haine goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Other services in Haine
What we’re called out for in Haine
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan shaking on its mountings
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Christopher's Church, or anywhere in Haine, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Haine and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We’ll tell you if that is what we find and explain what we found.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a village like Haine are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Food Standards Agency records list about 59 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 27 takeaways across Haine and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Haine are the job of Thanet council’s environmental health team.

FAQs for Haine
Who inspects food businesses in Haine?
Kitchens in Haine are inspected by Thanet council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Haine?
Haine is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
How much time does a fan repair need?
A typical repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed including running the fan afterwards. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
