What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email 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. We usually come back within one working day.
Extract fan repair in Norton Ash
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. If you have an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and an old fan that needs replacing, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Norton Ash, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
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 are fully insured.

What extract fan repair looks like in Norton Ash
Norton Ash is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Norton Ash 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. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Norton Ash. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. 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 Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Norton Ash, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
Why act early in Norton Ash
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Planning a trip to Norton Ash ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Questions from Norton Ash
Do you work in villages like Norton Ash?
Yes. Norton Ash 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.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Norton Ash?
In Norton Ash, it’s Swale council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Norton Ash and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.

Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
