Extract fan repair and replacement in Pedlinge, Kent
Extract fan repair in Pedlinge from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Pedlinge 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Extract fan repair in Pedlinge, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. Common call-outs are for a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan shaking on its mountings, across roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
In a village or hamlet like Pedlinge, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When a fan fails in Pedlinge
Sea air reaches Pedlinge, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Look up Pedlinge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 27 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Pedlinge. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Pedlinge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Folkestone and Hythe council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Pedlinge Chapel or elsewhere in Pedlinge, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. For kitchens close to Sandling station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. For school kitchens, at schools like Brockhill Park Performing Arts College for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Leave it or put it right?
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. A fault that closes a site in a village like Pedlinge affects everyone who depends on it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan motors
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Pedlinge
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Pedlinge: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Pedlinge?
Yes. Pedlinge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Pedlinge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
