Extract fan repair in Kent Street, done properly
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you have an overheating extract motor and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can help, from fan housings, belts and pulleys and fan motors onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Kent Street, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. In a place like Kent Street, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

When to call us in Kent Street
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A dead fan motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that keeps cutting out
For school kitchens, at schools like Kings Hill School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Kent Street questions
Which environmental health team covers Kent Street?
Kitchens in Kent Street are inspected by Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Kent Street?
Extract fan emergencies in Kent Street are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
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.
Extract fan repair around Kent Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Kent Street. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. At about 26 miles from central London, Kent Street sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Food hygiene inspections in Kent Street are the job of Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Lawrence's Church or elsewhere in Kent Street, can seize between uses.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
