Extract Fan Repair in Lydden
Extract fan repair for Lydden and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- A fan that will not start at all
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
Common problems we fix in Lydden
In Lydden, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An overheating extract motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Lydden Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Extract fan repair in Lydden
Kitchens in Lydden call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you’re dealing with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a fan rattling in its housing, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Lydden, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Extract fan repair around Lydden

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Report new noises from the fan early
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.

Related advice
Part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

FAQs for Lydden
Do you work in villages like Lydden?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lydden is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Lydden at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Lydden is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates, which is a common cause of noise. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
