Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
About our extract fan repair in Marley
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you’re dealing with a dead fan motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can put it right, from fan motors, fan housings and bearings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. 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.
Extract fan repair around Marley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Marley. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Marley are the job of Maidstone 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. About 38 miles out from central London, Marley is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run a kitchen close to Harrietsham station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. For school kitchens, at schools like Harrietsham Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Questions from Marley
Do you cover Marley for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Marley are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you cover smaller places like Marley?
Yes, Marley is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Does the report say when we need you again?
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, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you need extract fan repair in Marley?
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that will not start isn’t always a dead motor.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St John the Baptist's Church or elsewhere in Marley, can seize between uses.
