Extract fan repair in Leysdown-on-Sea
If an extract fan in Leysdown-on-Sea is struggling or has stopped, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and people most often call us about weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a knocking noise from the extract fan.
In a small place like Leysdown-on-Sea, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. A fault that closes a site in a village like Leysdown-on-Sea affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.

Advice
Extract fan repair around Leysdown-on-Sea
Leysdown-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 16 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways across Leysdown-on-Sea and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Leysdown-on-Sea get their food hygiene inspections from Swale council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
In Leysdown-on-Sea, a fan clogged with grease is cleaned as well as repaired, so the fault does not come straight back. If a fan fails in Leysdown-on-Sea at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
