Managing agents and facilities teams in Mystole
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Extract fan repair in Mystole, done properly
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. If you’re dealing with a knocking noise from the extract fan and an old fan that needs replacing, we can put it right.
For a fan repair in or near Mystole, 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.
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.

Extract fans in Mystole
Environmental health officers from Canterbury City council inspect food businesses in Mystole. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. At about 50 miles from central London, Mystole sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Chartham Primary School, rather than mid-term. If you run a kitchen close to Chartham station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
Mystole is about 4 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. We provide extract fan repair for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Mystole and the rest of Kent. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and Mystole is one of them. There’s also a page for Maidstone, roughly 21 miles from Mystole.

What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Mystole questions
Can you come to Mystole after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Mystole?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Mystole is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, including testing. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours wherever we can.
Who is the responsible person?
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’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Mystole knowing what to expect.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What else we do in Mystole
What affects the quote in Mystole
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Honest limits
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
Common problems we fix in Mystole
Kitchen extract fans in Mystole face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An overheating extract motor
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Mystole, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Leave it or put it right?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Mystole is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
