- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
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, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

When a fan fails in Old Romney
Old Romney, about 55 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. It’s Folkestone and Hythe council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Old Romney. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Clement or elsewhere in Old Romney, 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 The Marsh Academy, rather than mid-term.

FAQs for Old Romney
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Old Romney?
That is Folkestone and Hythe council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Old Romney. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Will you come out to Old Romney?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Old Romney is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Who do we call if the fan stops in the middle of cooking?
There’s a 24/7 emergency and out-of-hours callout. Ring us if the fan fails and we’ll organise an engineer.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Why deal with it now?
In Old Romney, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. If the system at a site near Old Romney fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- A written report with photos after every visit

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
When something else is needed
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors

What affects the quote in Old Romney
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by 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. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
