How we handle extract fan repair in Radfall
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. We are often asked to deal with a belt-driven fan that squeals and a knocking noise from the extract fan, on fan motors, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys.
Somewhere as small as Radfall, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
When a fan fails in Radfall
The coast is only about 2 miles from Radfall. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Radfall, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. It’s Canterbury City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Radfall. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If a fan fails in Radfall at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open. For school kitchens, at schools like The Whitstable School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Radfall
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.

Radfall: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Radfall?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Radfall keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Radfall?
Kitchens in Radfall are inspected by Canterbury City council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
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 survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
