Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Nash Street
Across Nash Street, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers roof and wall fans, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a knocking noise from the extract fan and a whining or grinding extract motor.
A callout to a small place like Nash Street goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Nash Street questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Nash Street?
In Nash Street, it’s Gravesham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you work at weekends in Nash Street?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Nash Street needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Extract fans in Nash Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways across Nash Street 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. At about 21 miles from central London, Nash Street sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. It’s Gravesham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nash Street. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mildred, or anywhere in Nash Street, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For a takeaway near Meopham station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Istead Rise Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What else we do in Nash Street
What extract fan repair cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we’ll explain why.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that is what we find and explain what we found.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
