When a fan fails in Pegwell
Pegwell lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. There are about 80 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 34 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Pegwell, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Pegwell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Thanet council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Laurence, or anywhere around Pegwell, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

About our extract fan repair in Pegwell
Kitchens in Pegwell call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. If you have a failed fan that needs a replacement and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can help.
In a small place like Pegwell, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Pegwell, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Do you need extract fan repair in Pegwell?
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Chilton Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Pegwell
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Pegwell?
Day or night, a failed fan in Pegwell can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Does the sea air around Pegwell make a difference to extract fan repair?
It can. Salt air reaches Pegwell, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pegwell
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Somewhere as small as Pegwell, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor is not always to blame.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
