About our extract fan repair in Newenden
Kitchens in Newenden call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a fan that keeps cutting out and a failed fan that needs a replacement.
Somewhere as small as Newenden, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Newenden
Can you work in Newenden outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Newenden keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Newenden?
Food hygiene inspections in Newenden are carried out by Ashford council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
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 without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.

How we price extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When a fan fails in Newenden
Food hygiene inspections in Newenden are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority. At about 45 miles from central London, Newenden sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Newenden, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Newenden can be planned properly.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Do you need extract fan repair in Newenden?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A motor that trips out or overheats
Fan failures around Newenden don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.
