Questions from New Street
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in New Street?
Extract fan emergencies in New Street are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Which council inspects kitchens in New Street?
The local authority for New Street is Gravesham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. 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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in New Street
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we will recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan motors and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a dead fan motor.
Somewhere as small as New Street, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
When a fan fails in New Street
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around New Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. New Street is about 21 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In New Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Gravesham council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Saint Peter or elsewhere in New Street, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
New Street is about 6 miles south of Northfleet, in Kent. New Street gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. New Street is one of 922 places in Kent where we work for extract fan repair. We also work in Maidstone, around 10 miles away.
Work in TN15 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Neighbouring places we cover for extract fan repair include Ridley (1 mile west), South Street (1 mile east), Hodsoll Street (1 mile south-west), Culverstone Green (1 mile south-east) and Priestwood Green (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (10 miles south-east), Dartford (8 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (8 miles south-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (15 miles south), Gravesend (6 miles north) and Tonbridge (11 miles south).
Around New Street
In New Street, that means kitchens and buildings near Meopham School and Trosley Country Park. New Street’s nearest station is Meopham station, roughly 2.4 miles north of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Ightham Court (4.6 miles south-west) and Coldrum Long Barrow (2.7 miles south-east).
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. The timing of a visit to New Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Do you need extract fan repair in New Street?
In New Street, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that will not start at all
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you manage a school such as Culverstone Green Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the price is fixed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they recommend a next date
Managing agents and facilities teams in New Street
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in New Street and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
