About our extract fan repair in Newingreen
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you’re dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can put it right, from fan motors, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
How we price extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Leave it or put it right?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. A planned visit to Newingreen is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Newingreen.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

FAQs for Newingreen
Does the sea air around Newingreen make a difference to extract fan repair?
It can, as Newingreen is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Newingreen at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Newingreen can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

What else we do in Newingreen
Extract fans in Newingreen
Sea air reaches Newingreen, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. There are about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops across Newingreen and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Newingreen get their food hygiene inspections from Folkestone and Hythe council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Pedlinge Chapel or elsewhere in Newingreen, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Lympne Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
