Extract fan repair and replacement in Henley Street, Kent
Extract fan repair and replacement for commercial sites in Henley Street and across Kent. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
What we are called out for in Henley Street
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
Hall kitchens near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere around Henley Street, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Henley Street
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Henley Street, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers fan housings, kitchen extract fans and bearings, and people most often call us about poor airflow at the canopy and a fan that keeps cutting out.
Somewhere as small as Henley Street, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
Henley Street questions
Do you work overnight in Henley Street?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Henley Street?
The local authority for Henley Street is Gravesham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.

What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.

What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What extract fan repair looks like in Henley Street
At about 23 miles from central London, Henley Street sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Food hygiene inspections in Henley Street are the job of Gravesham council’s environmental health team. 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 run a kitchen close to Sole Street station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Cobham Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
