About our extract fan repair in Mersham
If an extract fan in Mersham is struggling or has stopped, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
Somewhere as small as Mersham, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere as small as Mersham, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
What affects the quote in Mersham
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Mersham questions
Can you get to a site in Mersham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Mersham?
Food hygiene inspections in Mersham are carried out by Ashford council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, including testing. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Mersham
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Extract fans in Mersham
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Mersham, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Mersham, about 52 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Mersham are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Mersham, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. If you manage a school such as Mersham Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Mersham is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
