Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Petham
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before work begins. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are a dead fan motor and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.
In a village or hamlet like Petham, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Extract fan repair in Petham: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Petham are the job of Canterbury City council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. We cover Petham, about 53 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Petham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.

What else we do in Petham
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
What we’re called out for in Petham
Fans everywhere, Petham included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that won’t start at all
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Petham Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Petham
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Petham is calmer for everyone.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why Petham businesses choose us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fully insured

How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us.

- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
FAQs for Petham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Petham?
That is Canterbury City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Petham. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Petham at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Petham are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
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 so there are no surprises.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
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.
