Part by part
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Extract fan repair in Perrywood
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan that won’t start at all.
In a small place like Perrywood, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Perrywood: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Perrywood?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Perrywood?
The local authority for Perrywood is Swale council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
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 expects a risk-based approach.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Extract fans in Perrywood
It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Perrywood. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We cover Perrywood, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Perrywood, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

How the visit works

Advice
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Perrywood
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Why it’s worth doing now in Perrywood
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why book with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Every job surveyed first

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When to call us in Perrywood
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A dead fan motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An old fan that needs replacing
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Selling Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
What to look for in a quote

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
