Kent · Extract fan repair and replacement
Hastingleigh extract fan repair
One call covers extract fan repair and replacement in Hastingleigh: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A motor that trips out or overheats
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
How we handle extract fan repair in Hastingleigh
Wherever your kitchen is in Hastingleigh, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. The work covers belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that won’t start at all and an old fan that needs replacing.
A callout to a small place like Hastingleigh goes better when we know what we are looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How it works
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 pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. The timing of a visit to Hastingleigh is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. 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 cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fully insured

What extract fan repair looks like in Hastingleigh
At about 52 miles from central London, Hastingleigh sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Hastingleigh are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Hastingleigh, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Bodsham Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Common questions in Hastingleigh
Can you work in Hastingleigh outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Hastingleigh can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover Hastingleigh for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Hastingleigh is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What to send for a quote:
