Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Neatham
Working on a fan in Neatham means switching the extract off first, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Common call-outs are for a failed fan that needs a replacement and a knocking noise from the extract fan, on roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors.
In a small place like Neatham, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
Honest limits
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Neatham run smoothly.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

FAQs for Neatham
Do you cover Neatham for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Neatham is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you cover smaller places like Neatham?
Yes. Neatham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
When a fan fails in Neatham
Neatham is about 43 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Neatham. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you manage a school such as Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Rood Church or elsewhere in Neatham, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

How we price extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What else we do in Neatham
Why it’s worth doing now in Neatham
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. In a place like Neatham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
